Description of problem: The transfer function eg. tf([1], [1 1]) gives error in octave 3.6.3. Downgrading octave to 3.6.1 works perfect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.3 How reproducible: Start octave 3.6.3 and type tf([1], [1 1]) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start octave 3.6.3 and type tf([1], [1 1]) Actual results: Error. Expected results: Answer. Additional info: Downgrading to 3.6.1 solves the issue.
The transfer fuction comes from the octave-crontrol package which, since it is not packaged by Fedora, must have been installed by you, perhaps in a location where octave 3.6.3 does not look at? What does "pkg list" show?
By "pkg list" if you mean which octave packages are installed, I used command: $ rpm -qa | grep octave octave-3.6.1-2.fc17.i686 octave-symbolic-1.1.0-2.fc17.i686 octave-control-2.2.4-2.fc17.i686 It seems that octave-control is packaged by Fedora. I did not do external installation.
My bad. Looks like a newer octave-control is needed. Thomas - I'll let you handle that if you would. Thanks.
