I wanted to install the octave matlab clone on my system. When I tried, I received a message stating that libhdf5.so.9()(64bit) was needed, but not found. How does one find the correct additional repository? I am curious that a package as popular as Octave is not fully supported. Please advise.
Hi Don
I've just now installed octave on my 13.2+updates system, worked just fine. No extra or unsatisfied requirements. Interestingly, no libhdf5 package got installed, it was already installed. Everything seems fully supported.
I have been having problems with updates, repos and the like. I would RTFM, if I could find it. I have been using the software management from the Yast Control Center GUI to install packages.
I use zypper, but it matters little.
I clicked on the box that says update all packages if newer version available and appear to be up to date. I( believe the Octave package comes from the PackMan repo).
Uh no, Octave is in the regular openSUSE repos.
So what does 13.2+updates mean?
The standard 13.2 oss and non-oss repositories plus whatever updates have been published.
Did you get your Octave from PackMan?
Nope.
I wonder why the Yast2 package manager could not find the required links, but the http://software.opensuse.org/search found them all.
They're really two quite different things - YaST2 works with whatever repo you've defined, http://software.opensuse.org with a lot more.
I surly need to find more about repos. For instance, in Software manager, is there any way to disable certain repositories. I can list them, but if I want to limit my search to trusted repositories, I do not see how to disable any of those in the list.
You can disable them from repository list. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.5°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
