From help-request at octave dot org Wed Oct 12 18:40:03 2005 Subject: octave-forge's rand.oct did not compile From: Mike Miller To: Help-Octave List Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 18:31:13 -0500 (CDT) I'm not sure how much information you need. I am using Red Hat and working from the octave-forge-2005.06.13. I want randp to work but I guess it is a symlink to octave-forge's rand.oct, which is missing. When I try to compile octave-forge, I see this: rand.cc: In function `octave_value do_seed(octave_value_list)': rand.cc:48: syntax error before `=' token rand.cc:61: syntax error before `[' token rand.cc:82: syntax error before `=' token rand.cc:93: syntax error before `[' token rand.cc:95: syntax error before `(' token make[1]: *** [rand.oct] Error 1 What else would you need to know to give me some idea of hot to proceed to get this working? How does poisson_rnd compare with randp in terms of speed? Thanks in advance.
