Package: kmatplot
Version: 0.4-5
The interface to octave (version in testing: octave 2.1.57-1,
octave2.1 2.1.57-1) seems busted: it gives a horrible error message
upon invocation:
$ octave
GNU Octave, version 2.1.57 (i386-pc-linux-gnu).
octave:1> kplot([1:100],sin([1:100]/10))
error: API version api-v3 found in .oct file function `kplot'
does not match the running Octave (API version api-v8)
this can lead to incorrect results or other failures
you can fix this problem by recompiling this .oct file
error: failed to install dld function `kplot'
error: `kplot' undefined near line 1 column 1

This is consistent with the hardwired octave version recommendation in
the debian/control file. I then recompiled kmatplot on an up-to-date
testing system with the above version of octave installed. It still
doesn't work, but doesn't give any gruesome error messages.
octave:1> kplot([1:100],sin([1:100]/10))

[[ kmatplot window pops up, but without data ]]
Sure would be nice if octave (and scilab but that's another kettle of
fish) integration worked with recent versions of octave.
