From bug-request at octave dot org Wed Aug 4 03:38:17 2004 Subject: Re: Typo in plot command causes crash From: David Bateman To: Per Persson Cc: bug at octave dot org Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2004 10:34:17 +0200 With a recent CVS version running under Mandrake 9.2 x86 with gcc 3.3.1 this seems to be fixed octave:1> x=1:10; y = x; plot(x, y"-;boom;") error: string type invalid as index value error: evaluating argument list element number 2 I believe that there were quite a few bugs of this type fixed recently and so this is probably one of them. I don't believe the bug is specific to the powerpc version and so I'd try the CVS and see if that helps..
