Thanks. I will get the time to "chech" this :-). But dejagnu is a mess: 3 components! The last expect available (5.31) at http://expect.nist.gov only work with tcl-8.2. The last dejagnu snapshot I could locate is dejagnu-971222, at ftp.cygnus.com/pub/dejagnu I have to compile them myself, as I'm not a linux user :( Until now, I had no success (with last octave only) using either one or even "mixing" them :-) Thanks, Joao > > On my linux system I had 'expect version 5.24.1' but no dejagnu. > I Downloaded 'dejagnu-1.3' from my nearest GNU mirror and unpacked it. > Now 'cd' into 'dejagnu-1.3/dejagnu'. > Call from your shell > mkdir ~/dejagnu > mkdir ~/dejagnu/lib > mkdir ~/bin > cp runtest* ~/bin > cp lib/* ~/dejagnu/lib > > Change to your octave-2.1.19/test directory and call > make RUNTEST=$HOME/bin/runtest check > Ignore the message about missing global config file.
