Octave 3.4.0 windows binaries

To read the manual from the prompt type doc GNU Octave is supported and developed by its user community. I think Jordi told me that. I know this is a sensitive subject, but I found it was not easy building Octave on my own, which makes it even more important to make the latest binaries available to those students taking the two Stanford Classes as well as others. A few of the students in ml-class. I'm glad to see 3.

I note that the Mac binary is still at 3. I'll be taking pgm-class. I will say that my impression is that most of the students were pretty happy with using Octave. So, on behalf of my fellow students taking ml-class. It made a big difference in our learning of Machine Learning.

One thing to remember is that it is the typeinfo of the index expression which is being checked, not the actual characters 'i' or 'e'. For example:. I agree with Jordi that it is useful to know why the index expression is failing. In some cases the expression may be very complex pun intended and it would be useful in debugging to have this extra information. I now remember why I try never to use i, I, j, J as variables. This is probably "well-known"? Well, I just discovered the: help --list command.

Very useful and very verbose. And, it appears at an appropriate place in the Manual but, who reads Manuals? I suspect that not many of the thousands of students and staff!! So, the error message that started this thread might usefully point out that the argument is a built-in function of an invalid type, and, maybe, refer to the right place in the Manual.

Right, and exist actually says that. But, this does not seem to be widely known. At least, a Section in the Manual titled something like "Initial definitions" would be a help. And, a way to keep it in sync with the code would be very nice. I don't see a reason to not provide a more specific error message if it's something that is already being checked for. Also, given the frequency with which i and j are chosen as index variable, I think a i is provoking an error far more frequently than a e is.

Furthermore, the reason you don't see i and j as variables is because by default they're not. You can do i 2,5 with i's default value, for example, to get a matrix full of i. I kind of like that the error message explicitly recognises that you used non-real values. I think that should be kept.

In that case you need to run:. That will force octave to look for both local and global packages in the set locations to repopulate the list of available packages. Note that 'local' packages always take precedence if the same package is present in both locations. Note : The Windows bundle includes a minimal version of Python for the symbolic package.

That version of Python is not intended to be used for anything else. If you like to use Python for something different in Octave e. To install a new or updated package version manually, the package file can be downloaded from the Octave Forge website to the working directory and can be installed using:. Note that all of the commands above will perform local or global package installs according to the user's Administrator access level. This behavior can be changed by calling the install command with the -global option.

For example:. To install a global package to the latest version requires write-access to the global-list location you can use:. Note also that the update command does not take -local or -global options, and always performs an update according to the user's Administrator access level. As such if Octave was installed from a zip or 7z archive in a non-privileged account, 'pkg update' cannot be used to update global packages, they must be updated manually using 'pkg install'.

These are bit builds with the default GL2 OpenGL level and these dependencies: curl, freetype, giflib, glut, jpeg, lpng, minizip, tiff, zlib.

We hope to do some OSG profiling and experiment with tuning on the Windows side with VTune: if we find anything interesting we'll post it on our OSG page and submit code back to the developers.
