A digital misfit

Octave

Adding project of-octcdf

The octcdf package doesn’t have any dependencies, it is described as being obsolete, now replaced by netcdf, however it appears to have recent development. It contains a src/ directory with a configure script.

Adding project of-ocs

The ocs package depends upon the odepkg package. It contains a src/ directory with a makefile.

Adding project of-ncarray

The ncarray package depends upon the netcdf and statistics packages. It contains no src/ directory and can be installed directly.

Adding project of-bim

The bim package depends upon the fpl and msh packages. It doesn’t have a src/ directory and can simply be installed.

Adding project of-fpl

The fpl package doesn’t have any dependencies or src/ directory, it can just be installed directly.

Adding project of-database

The database package depends upon the struct package and has a src/ directory containing a bootstrap script. Running this script leads to and error: checking for PQconnectdb in -lpq… no configure: error: unable to find the PQconnectdb() function in pq This seems to be because it cannot find libpq.so – checking on the system libpq.so.5 […]
