Description Vladimir G. Ivanovic 2007-12-09 11:44:40 UTC 
I get over 2000 compilation errors. Something fundamental must be wrong...

FYI: Octave-2.9.18 from the science overlay built without errors.

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately, octave-forge is tied closely to 
octave itself and you will have to use octave-2.1.72 or octave-2.1.73
for octave-forge-2006.03.17 to compile since octave-2.9.x, which are 
the new pre-release versions for octave-3.0 are fundamentally different. 
Hence, the boatload of errors you get are no surprise.

However, the science overlay contains new style split octave-forge ebuilds 
that will replace the monolithic octave-forge once octave 2.9.x or 3.0 is in 
portage. To give it a try just emerge any of octave-forge-* or just pull
in octave-forge-meta to get them all.

Best,
Markus
Comment 9 Vladimir G. Ivanovic 2007-12-11 23:22:43 UTC 
octave-forge-meta worked like a charm.
Comment 10 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-12 11:10:09 UTC 
I am glad to hear :) Hopefully, we can merge the new octave and octave-forge-meta
ebuilds into the main tree in the not so far future.

best,
Markus
