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

I( believe the Octave package comes from the PackMan repo). I went to the http://software.opensuse.org/search link posted earlier, and entered Octave. It loaded Octave, plus a many other packages I could see go by in the GUI, but then the list disappeared. So what does 13.2+updates mean? Did you get your Octave from PackMan? I wonder why the Yast2 package manager could not find the required links, but the http://software.opensuse.org/search found them all. 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. I will search for more documentation. I have only been using openSuse since February. I find a lot of docs on how to work a the GUIs, but no details on this type of architecture details. I like the new Octave GUI:-) I had told the search link to download the qt interface, which it said it did, but I cannot find on my system. So I also need to discover how to delete packages that did not really install.
