cant get octave to run

sirclif · 09-02-2004, 10:09 AM

ive installed octave on my suse 9.0 system
when i try to start it (type "octave" at the command line) i get an error:

octave: error while loading shared libraries: liboctinterp.so: cannot open object file: No such file or directory

i dont know where to look for this file, or the file that is calling it.

Looks like you are missing those packages. Try look on SuSE's ftp site:

ftp://ftp.ale.org/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/i586/

or at

rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/

i figured it out
i had to add an environment variable

>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/user/lib/octave-2.1.49

thanks
