Description Hesty 2006-08-05 13:25:53 UTC

Description of problem:
toggle_plplot_use spits out error when used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
octave.i386                              6:2.9.7-1.fc5              installed
octave-forge.i386                    2006.07.09-3.fc5        installed
plplot-octave.i386                    5.6.1-1.fc5                  installed


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start octave, enter octave:1> toggle_plplot_use.
2. If you don't have LOADPATH, it'll complain. So add
LOADPATH="/usr/share/plplot_octave//:" in ~/.octaverc.
3. Restart octave and run toggle_plplot_use again.
  
Actual results:
octave:1> toggle_plplot_use
error: `plplot_stub' undefined near line 43 column 3
error: evaluating if command near line 41, column 1
error: near line 46 of file `/usr/share/octave/site/m/PLplot/toggle_plplot_use.m'
octave:1> LOADPATH
LOADPATH = /usr/share/plplot_octave//::
octave:2> use_plplot_path
use_plplot_path = /usr/share/plplot_octave//

Expected results:
Looking into the function /usr/share/octave/site/m/PLplot/toggle_plplot_use.m,
if everything goes well, it should say: "Use PLplot: on".

Additional info:

Comment 1 Quentin Spencer 2006-08-07 13:37:22 UTC

The LOADPATH variable has been removed from octave as of 2.9.7 in order to be
more compatible with MATLAB's path handling functions. The plplot scripts need
to be updated to use the new scheme, which includes the functions addpath and
rmpath.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2006-08-07 21:39:50 UTC

This should be fixed with 5.6.1-2
