GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
|
|
computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
|
|
linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical
|
|
experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may
|
|
also be used as a batch-oriented language.
|
|
|
|
This requires a BLAS/LAPACK implementation. Choose one of these package sets:
|
|
* OpenBLAS (includes both a BLAS and a LAPACK implementation)
|
|
* atlas (includes both a BLAS and a LAPACK implementation)
|
|
* blas, lapack (the Netlib reference implementations)
|
|
If more than one set is installed (assuming there are no packaging conflicts)
|
|
then the auto-detection will use the first implementation from this list that
|
|
it finds. If in doubt, choose the Netlib reference implementations; other
|
|
packages that require a BLAS or LAPACK implementation may not build if they
|
|
are not configured to detect/use alternate implementations.
|
|
|
|
These optional dependencies will be used if found (see INSTALL.OCTAVE, in the
|
|
Octave source, for a description of what each dependency offers):
|
|
amd, camd, colamd, ccolamd, cholmod, umfpack, cxsparse, glpk, arpack-ng,
|
|
qrupdate, qhull, hdf5, fltk, ftgl, gl2ps, jdk, GraphicsMagick, portaudio.
|
|
|
|
Octave can use ImageMagick (part of Slackware) or GraphicsMagick (available
|
|
from SBo) for some functionality. ImageMagick 6.8.6-10 from Slackware 14.1
|
|
appears to be incompatible (build failure). Octave searches for
|
|
GraphicsMagick by default, and previous versions of this script changed the
|
|
default to ImageMagick to avoid the need for yet another dependency. If you
|
|
need this functionality, or if Octave decides to compile against ImageMagick
|
|
for some reason, try installing GraphicsMagick.
|
|
|
|
If you have arpack installed and the configure script segfaults when trying to
|
|
detect arpack, try switching to arpack-ng (which is partly maintained by
|
|
Octave developers).
