[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#499918: octave-vrml: "freewrl" is not packaged in Debian
Package: octave-vrml
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5
When calling a vrml function from octave
the error
sh: freewrl: command not found
cmd = freewrl
/tmp/octave_vrml_output.wrl
vrml_browse : Can't start browser
'freewrl'. Is it installed?
occurs. I could not find a package in
Debian which contains freewrl.
Possible solutions:
- Modify this error message, so it contains
a link, where to download freewrl
& update Package description.
- A not so nice, but working replacement
for freewrl is whitedune
- Package freewrl in Debian
Cheers, dietrich
