finally got organised enough to test this:
lupu500 booted on external HD (sdb1) with /mnt/home/sage-4.3.1.sfs loaded by inclusion in Boot Manager (although didnt notice it being loaded in the boot dialog)
(also with openshot pets already installed which includes python. pupsave is 256 MB free space around 100MB)

Hi aarf,

Hi!
I know that there are some tutorials to install QtOctave, but I'm too clumsy to achieve it. I cannot even install 'cmake', which is said to be needed. Is there another GUI for Octave that can be easier installed on Puppy?
I'm using Octave command line now, but I got used to the GUI at Ubuntu (home PC) which I cannot install at work.

Thank you and sorry for my English.

[Temon]

As usual, I solve it right after asking for help!

I used "tgz2pet" with a QtOctavexxx.tar.gz file and everything is fine now.

Sorry and thanks, anyway!

I made a sfs from the latest version, but moved it to a seperate threat

I tried getting the R tarball, but the site said there was no such file.
Same exact thing with the R pet, and the PMG pet.

So...I tried using the official packages from the R project (bin/linux/ubuntu/lucid/*.deb), which installed. But, trying to install Rcmdr or pmg shows a lot of packages that can't install.
The problem is along the lines of
**libs
sh: -f: file not found
ERROR: compilation failed for package .......

Hi Ibidem and all,

Well the original download links are not working anymore, as stated in a previous post.

I have moved most of the work to
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/MathSoftware/Puppy4

Also dingos Docupuppy server should still work
http://puppylover.netsons.org/dokupuppy/programs:math_apps

About Rcmdr and the other guis - this was done in puppy 431. I havent tried in 5xx Puppies. The Problem is: new Puppies are fine but its a moving target ....
Although I tried to include some clues how I got it to work, maybe it helps with newer versions.

I want to post a brief update here:

In the meantime there is a second version of Sage Live:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62231

Download Arrea (decent speed)

Username download@sagelive

I found gnuplot and octave working also for the 5 series of puppy
Download (a tad slow)
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/MathSoftware/Puppy4/

I also found Lyx and Latex almost working in Lupu 511.
All what was necessary was to add a symlink
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3 --> /usr/lib/libpng.so
Download
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/Latex/
its the Latex_Lyx_v09.sfs

Firstly, a huge thanks to emil for doing all this. I'm currently using Lupu 5.2.8 and all the .pet files for just octave. It seems to be working great.

That said, I have some need for the octave forge signal package. Using the devx .sfs file, I'm in the process of getting everything I need for that, but I was wondering, once I get the octave forge signal package up and running, is there any way to reduce all of that to a .pet file? Thoughts?

Currently, I've had to install (from source)
(octave) signal-1.0.11.tar.gz requires
(octave) miscellaneous-1.0.9.tar.gz
(octave) specfun-1.0.9.tar.gz
(octave) struct-1.0.9.tar.gz
(octave) optim-1.0.6.tar.gz
mpfr-3.1.0.tar.gz requires
gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2 requires

And these are just the dependencies I know about. I know lupu is supposed to be able to harness the power of Ubuntu packages. Can I simply use "apt-get install octave-forge...." ?

All help is much appreciated

Hello standarddeviant ,

thanks for the nice feedback .

I am very sorry, there is no apt get in Puppy Linux which works properly.
Package managment is kind of "hand crafted" and "take what you can" from the base distro.

About your question with the creation of pet packages:

When compiling from source, most of it boils down to use

how to run geogebra 5 on puppy?
http://www.geogebra.org/
the type file of geogebra 5 beta is .jar
i use this code but not working

[emil]

geogebra is written in java.

You need to install the java runtime environment.
either download it directly from oracle or use one of the sfs packages here

emil, thanks for your fast answer, but i still confuse how to run the geogebra.jar
i downloaded from repository lucid, here
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/java_jre-6u22-Lucid-sfs4.sfs
i load that sfs by right click, sfsload.
then in terminal, i type this:

[emil]

Download the Unix package from the homepage (it is a tar.gz archive). Unpack it. go into the directory and run the "geogebra" shell script.
java geogebra.jar will not work.
