Package: octave-plplot Version: 5.3.1-8 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I have been trying to get plplot to work in Octave 2.1, but every time I try to use it, it causes Octave to crash. Here is an example: radar:~> octave 1:~>> LOADPATH = "/usr/share/plplot_octave//:/usr/share/octave//:" LOADPATH = /usr/share/plplot_octave//:/usr/share/octave//: 2:~>> toggle_plplot_use Use PLplot: on 3:~>> plot(sin(1:10),'-o') *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0a3e2218 *** panic: Aborted -- stopping myself... Aborted radar:~> Unfortunately, I really don't know what this means, or how to debug it. I would be more than willing to help figure it out if anyone can give me some suggestions to try. The commands I used are straight from the setup documentation for Debian included with the package (although I must admit that they were a little confusing because they don't state explicitly what the paths are that need to be loaded. Please let me know how I can help, and thanks for maintaining. jamie. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages octave-plplot depends on: ii atlas3-base [liblapack.s 3.6.0-19 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii fftw3 3.0.1-14 library for computing Fast Fourier ii lapack3 [liblapack.so.3] 3.0.20000531a-6 library of linear algebra routines ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcsiro0 5.3.1-8 Scientific plotting library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libgfortran0 4.0.2-5 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libhdf5-serial-1.6.4-0c2 1.6.4-4 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) ii libltdl3 1.5.22-2 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libplplot9 5.3.1-8 Scientific plotting library ii libqhull5 2003.1-1 Calculate convex hulls and related ii libreadline5 5.1-5 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii octave2.1 1:2.1.72-8 GNU Octave language for numerical ii refblas3 [libblas.so.3] 1.2-8 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime octave-plplot recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
