Octave imread function - octave
I installed latest Octave on Ubuntu 14.04 machine. However, when I tried to run imread command, it showed the following error message:
octave:12> imread('newfile.png')
error: imread: invalid image file: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.1/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/__magick_read__.oct: failed to load: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.1/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/__magick_read__.oct: undefined symbol: _ZN6Magick5ColorC1Ehhh
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/image/private/__imread__.m at line 181, column 7
error: /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/image/private/imageIO.m at line 66, column 26
error: /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/image/imread.m at line 107, column 30
Can someone please suggest how to solve it?
Thanks!
Following these steps worked for me [Author: Christoffer Cronström (hymyly)]:
Install the dev packages needed to build octave.
sudo apt-get build-dep octave
Get the official source package. Do this in a clean directory, because it will get polluted.
cd ~/some/suitable/directory
apt-get source octave
Build it. This took roughly an hour for me.
cd octave-3.8.2
dpkg-buildpackage
Either run it from the build directory:
./run-octave
...or most preferably install it over the official octave:
cd ..
sudo dpkg --install octave_3.8.2-4_amd64.deb

How did you instal Octave? The error suggests that you're missing GraphicsMagick C++ interface (package libgraphicsmagick++3) but
if you installed Octave from Ubuntu's package manager you should not have had this problem; * if you compiled it yourself, Octave should have disabled imread completely and you'd have a very different error message.
So my guess is that you build it yourself, either with:
your own build of GraphicsMagick++ which are not being loaded anymore, you may need to add their path to the dynamic linker load path (either on /etc/ld.so.conf.d./graphicsmagick or define LD_LIBRARY_PATH);
the libraries from the package manager which you have since accidentally removed (since you did not install Octave from the repositories, your package manager will not know that libgraphicsmagick++ is installed for a reason).
Either way, the solution is easy. Install Octave from Ubuntu's package manager. One of the main reasons package managers exist is to avoid this type of problems, i.e., missing dependencies.

Fedora Arm pkg-config file not found error (armv7hl... should be armv7hnl...)
I'm trying to compile a cmake project on a RasberryPi with Fedora Arm 36 and in cmake I use pkg-config. It is correctly installed but I get this error: /usr/bin/pkg-config: line 8: /usr/bin/armv7hnl-redhat-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config: No such file or directory In the /usr/bin directory there is a file called armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config (missing n in armv7hnl) is this a bug? What can I do? Edit I've reinstalled pkg-config but still the same error. /usr/bin/pkg-config is just a bash script that calls the appropriate executable and so I hard coded the one previously mentioned, I don't get an error but pkg-config can't find gtkmm-4.0 which is installed.
"Couldn't resolve hostname" while installing package in Octave
I have tried installing a package in Octave using this command: pkg install signal-1.4.0.taz.gz but I received the following error: error: pkg: failed to read package 'signal-1.4.0.taz.gz': Couldn't resolve host name error: called from pkg at line 429 column 17 Does somebody know what that means?
You have mis-spelled the name of the package's tarball. It is likely signal-1.4.0.tar.gz rather than signal-1.4.0.taz.gz (Note that one has TAR and the other has TAZ in the extension) pkg install signal-1.4.0.tar.gz Essentially what is happening, is that Octave is unable to find the file signal-1.4.0.taz.gz on the file system (due to the mis-spelling) so then it attempts to download the file from the internet. When it tries to resolve signal-1.4.0.taz.gz as a URL, DNS name resolution fails giving you the error that you're encountering.
I just had the same issue/error when trying to install the econometrics package on a windows install. In my case, for reasons unknown I was getting the following error: >> pkg install econometrics-1.1.1.tar.gz error: pkg: failed to read package 'econometrics-1.1.1.tar.gz': Couldn't resolve host name error: called from pkg at line 433 column 17 The only way I managed to get it, was by first downloading the package manually into the current working directory of Octave. (See pwd output.) Only then did the install command work. pkg install econometrics-1.1.1.tar.gz pkg load econometrics
I recently have this problem, you need to place the file in the Octave directory and from there rigth clik on the file to copy to clipboard and then paste from there. example:
to me work to change the document to disc D, and then install like: pkg install symbolic-win-py-bundle-2.9.0.tar.gz
compiler cannot find libvideogfx
I am trying to install libde265 from source but one of its dependencies is giving me problems. I also installed this depedency from source but I converted it to an rpm package before completing installation. When I look for the location of this library I get: $ whereis libvideogfx libvideogfx: /usr/local/lib/libvideogfx.la /usr/local/lib/libvideogfx.a /usr/local/lib/libvideogfx.so The flags I have added to the ./configure command such as LIBS are not working and I don't know the root of the problem.
Install Octave package error
I have tried to install image package but it returned error: pkg install image-2.4.1.tar.gz pkg: unable to find the command shell. error: called from 'shell' in file C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\share\octave\4.0.0\m\pkg\private\shell.m near line 42, column 7 How can I solve it?
Octave is trying to execute "sh.exe", but cannot. This exe may come by cygwin or some other tool to allow the execution of Unix style commands.
Creating riak nodes: bitcask version clash
I have installed riak on a Fedora 17 system (but not using the package manager) by following the standard instructions, i.e.:
$ wget http://downloads.basho.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/riak/1.2/1.2.1/riak-1.2.1.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf riak-1.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd riak-1.2.1
$ make all
This worked and I now tried to create four nodes as described in the Fast Track tutorial:
$ make devrel
This runs for a while and then produces the error below:
==> rel (generate)
ERROR: generate failed while processing /space/surechem/riak-1.2.1/rel: {'EXIT',{{badmatch,{error,"bitcask: Application version clash. Multiple directories contains version \"1.5.2\"."}},
[{rebar_reltool,generate,2,[]},
{rebar_core,run_modules,4,[]},
{rebar_core,execute,4,[]},
{rebar_core,process_dir,4,[]},
{rebar_core,process_commands,2,[]},
{rebar,main,1,[]},
{escript,run,2,[{file,"escript.erl"},{line,741}]},
{escript,start,1,[{file,"escript.erl"},{line,277}]}]}}
make: *** [dev1] Error 1
I have difficulties understanding what that error message is trying to tell me.
Is this a version conflict with bitcask? The Fedora package erlang-bitcask is installed on the machine (erlang-bitcask-1.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64). Should it be removed? Do I need a different version of it?
Indeed this seems to be caused by conflicts with Erlang packages installed in the system. After removing the erlang-bitcask package from the system, I got similar error messages for other packages. In the end I had to remove four packages, $ sudo yum remove erlang-bitcask erlang-ebloom erlang-js erlang-luke to get it to work.
