Octave Parallel: Win 64 #2

Closed mzarowka closed 2 years ago

mzarowka commented 2 years ago

Octave seems to be unable to install parallel package on Win 10 (64 bit).

After running

pkg install -forge parallel

it throws an error and wont build. Which subsequently seems to affect behavior of LANDO notebook and processing. Is it possible to ditch code parallelization if needed?

Octave ver. 7.1.0

Hi Maurycy, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Unfortunately, you cannot skip the 'parallel' package in the current version of LANDO. I might need to find a way to make it optional in a later version. However, I developed LANDO with Octave version 6.4.0 - the 'parallel' package is not yet fully supported by the current version of Octave. (Octave 7.1 release date: 2022-04-06; parallel package release date: 2021-03-16) Would it be possible for you to uninstall Octave and reinstall it with the version 6.4? You can find the file here: https://www.artfiles.org/gnu.org/octave/windows/ .... and it should be either this file octave-6.4.0-w64-64.zip or this one octave-6.4.0-w64-installer.exe Let me know, if this helped!

Best regards, Gregor

Hi Gregor,

You are right, as I'm not using Octave myself I just downloaded the most recent one. With Octave 6.4 "parallel" pckg is now working, however I had to resort to manual installation providing the urls to forge.

I seem to stumble on some more errors and I don't know whether I should open next issue, or just mail you?

Best, Maurycy

Hi Maurycy,

it's good to hear that at least with the other Octave version you were able to install the "parallel" package.

I would say for open science purpose and in case someone else has the same issue, it would be great if you can open another issue. Also just as a side note: I am currently working on my dissertation, which is why, I only have a few hours to spend on LANDO fixes. But around August, I will have more time and then I will also focus on the online version of LANDO to make it more accessible for others.

Best regards, Gregor
