Octave

Is an numerical software suite which syntax is very closly matched to the defacto industry standard MATLAB. This means it exels at Linear Algebra and Matrices.

DOWNLOAD: http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/MathSoftware/Puppy5-slacko/octave-glpk-3.2.3-i486_5.29.5.sfs

This is an older version made in Puppy 431, but I used it in Lupu 511 and in Slacko. It contains "Glpk" the "GNU Linear Programming Kit" and libraries from gfortran 4.2.2. Installing another fortran shouldn't hurt though.

It needs gnuplot as plotting engine for mathematical functions.

A similar software suite, although not as matlab compatible out of the box is Scilab.

ARCHIV Original pet packages from 2010

I have been using octave for quite a while now on puppy. There are a couple of things to remember about it:

1) The memory foot print can be huge if you make huge arrays

2) Looping is a lot slower than using huge arrays

This suggests that for some things, those who don't run as a full install may want to do the "pfix=noram" thing for the session where the big stuff gets processed.

Because octave will run from stdin, you can easily make it work as part of a larger script. Consider the example where you have about 1000 files that you want to FFT and make a graph from. Doing it by hand will take a while.

Has anyone here tried to install octave-forge packages in any version of Puppy Linux?

I'm attempting to build the signal ('pkg install signal-1.0.11.tar.gz' in octave) package working in Lupu 5.2.8 although the signal package depends on other octave packages (optim, specfun, struct, etc.)

Once I get it working, I'll probably make a .pet/.sfs for an octave signal package.

I'm pretty new to puppy linux, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong:

So Slacko (Puppy Linux 5.3) is supposed to have support for many slackware packages. Using the below links, won't Octave and Octave-Forge be able to be installed using the slackbuild scripts

here:
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/academic/octave/
and here:
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/academic/octave-forge/
Granted, this would only work for Puppy 5.3, right?

Yes, it should be possible to use the scripts from slackbuild.
But you will need the slackware pkgtools (available in slackware repos from puppy packagemanager)

However there is no automatic dependency tracking, so you have to hunt them down yourself
Good luck,

In slacko, using math-slacko and devx-slacko, the signal package of octave works:
