After installing Octave in Slackware with gslapt all seemed fine. But when starting from terminal I get the error "error while loading shared libraries libfltk_gl.so.1.1 file not found"

Also when starting QtOctave I get the message "... your version is : not found"  even after setiing path to /usr/bin

what can I do ?

Thanks for help.

The fltk needs opengl to run. You vould try to compile it with GLshim from lunixbochs.


I think that slackware is not aware the there is no real opengl on the Pandora.
 
@ mcobit : as a newbie I don't know how to go it by myself. Is there anyone who could do it for me ?

I thought the progs in Slackware were tried and tested to work. Maybe LinuxSWAT has some tips.
 
Maybe a missing dependency.

There's two fltk packages in the extra repository.
 
Thanks for the tip. After installing fltk. hdf5, lapack and blas libs the program is running now from terminal :)

With QTOctave I get the same result - all running now.

Thanks for the quick help.

Thanks for the info. I thought the programs would load all the needed libs when installing via Gslapt.
 
There's no dependency resolution.

It's possible to do that but it's a lot of work.
 
ah, ok. Just thought because almost all is working so well that I am a big fan of SL4P so I use it nearly 100 %.
