Octave leasqr error - octave

I have the following
x=[0.01:0.01:.1];
y=[1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 ];
F=#(x,p) 0.5-(1/Pi)*atan(p(2)*(x-p(1)));
p0=[0.05 10000];
When I run the following
[f p]=leasqr(x,y,p0,F)
I get
error: Invalid call to options. Correct usage is:
-- Function File: OPT = options ("KEY1", VALUE1, "KEY2", VALUE2, ...)
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/octave/3.6.2/m/help/print_usage.m at line 87, column 5
error: /usr/share/octave/packages/control-2.3.52/options.m at line 68, column 5
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.2.0/leasqr.m at line 574, column 5
Am I missing something?
EDIT: Updated the optim package. New error message:
error: binary operator `.*' not implemented for `matrix' by `symbolic matrix' operations
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.2.2/private/__lm_svd__.m at line 145, column 5
error: /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.2.2/leasqr.m at line 582, column 26

This is a bug.
According to mail-list
You may want to update optim package to fix it. The first step is system-dependent, it will install tools to compile packages, on rpm package name is different.
$ sudo apt-get install liboctave-dev
$ sudo octave
octave> pkg install -forge optim

if you change "Pi" to "pi" in the function this code works for me.
except that it says "CONVERGENCE NOT ACHIEVED! "

gym package not identifying ten-armed-bandits-v0 env

Environment:
Python: 3.9
OS: Windows 10
When I try to create the ten armed bandits environment using the following code the error is thrown not sure of the reason.
import gym

env = gym.make('ten-armed-bandits-v0')
The error:

It could be a problem with your Python version: k-armed-bandits library was made 4 years ago, when Python 3.9 didn't exist. Besides this, the configuration files in the repo indicates that the Python version is 2.7 (not 3.9).
If you create an environment with Python 2.7 and follow the setup instructions it works correctly on Windows:
git clone gym_armed_bandits
cd gym_armed_bandits
pip install -e .

Unzip it and move 2 files "ner-tagger.jar" and "english.all.3class.distsim.crf.ser.gz" to your folder
Open jupyter notebook or ipython prompt in your folder path and run the following python code:

from nltk.tag.stanford import StanfordNERTagger
sentence = u"Twenty miles east of Reno, Nev., " \
"where packs of wild mustangs roam free through " \
"the parched landscape, Tesla Gigafactory 1 " \

Neo4j import csv from command line but get an error "Input error: Expected '--nodes' to have at least 1 item, but had 0"

However, I got the following error message. Can anyone give me a hint of how to fix it? Thanks!

You need to specify the correct path to post2.csv (and also to post_relation.csv). (Presumably, your CSV files are not in the neo4j bin directory.)

Getting user inputs from the STDIN in Octave using input()?

Can any please help me why am I getting this error on running the Octave(version 3.8.1) code below-
a = input("");
b = input("");
printf("%d", a+b);
./CandidateCode.m: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ('
./CandidateCode.m: line 1:a = input("");'
Please help me in resolving this error.
If you run your Script CandidateCode.m from shell, you have to add an interpreter with shebang:
Your CandidateCode.m:
#!/usr/bin/octave -q
a = input("");
b = input("");
printf("%d", a+b);
If you want to run it from within Octave, just execute "CandidateCode" (without ./ and .m)

Both octave and fltk were compiled from source under gentoo:
x11-libs/fltk-1.3.3-r2:1 USE="opengl -cairo -debug -doc -examples -games -pdf -static-libs -threads -xft -xinerama"
sci-mathematics/octave-3.8.2:0/3.8.2 USE="X doc glpk gnuplot gui imagemagick opengl qhull qrupdate readline sparse zlib -curl -fftw -hdf5 -java -jit -postscript -static-libs"
resulting in configure switches of (for the fltk library):
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --includedir=/usr/include/fltk --libdir=/usr/lib64/fltk --docdir=/usr/share/doc/fltk-1.3.3-r2/html --enable-largefile --enable-shared --enable-xdbe --disable-localjpeg --disable-localpng --disable-localzlib --disable-debug --disable-cairo --enable-gl --disable-threads --disable-xft --disable-xinerama

If I examine libfltk_gl.so.1.3 with nm, I see that the following symbols are exported:
$ nm -D /usr/lib64/fltk/libfltk_gl.so.1.3
U XCreateColormap
U XGetUtf8FontAndGlyph
w _ITM_deregisterTMCloneTable
w _ITM_registerTMCloneTable
w _Jv_RegisterClasses
U _Z10fl_measurePKcRiS1_i
000000000000e170 T _Z10gl_descentv
000000000000e590 T _Z10gl_measurePKcRiS1_
... <snip>
According to nm manual, the U designates that the symbol is global (external) but unknown. My question is whether this unknown symbol status is the origin of the error reported from octave, suggesting that the problem lies with how fltk was compiled, or whether the octave compilation is somehow at fault.
Edit: Solved by enabling Xft support: Please see comments below, and I thank Andy again for his help.
XGetUtf8FontAndGlyph should be in libfltk.so.1.3.
nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfltk.so.1.3 |grep XGetU
00000000000c2fc0 T XGetUtf8FontAndGlyph
It's very likely that this is a problem with your configure flags for fltk and not GNU Octave. Just try it with the default settings first.
You can test if the UTF8 stuff with OpenGL is okay with the "cube" test. Just digg into the fltk-source dir tests:
cd fltk-1.3.3/test
make cube && ./cube
Does the text in the lower left of the GL window show up?
Had a similar problem. Was getting the following error while trying to run octave (undefined symbol: _ZN18Fl_XFont_On_Demand5valueEv):
bash-4.3$ octave

Command nm -D /usr/lib/libfltk_gl.so.1.3 showed that symbol _ZN18Fl_XFont_On_Demand5valueEv is undefined (with U):

The solution was to apply a patch file mentioned here to some files inside source directory of FLTK-1.3.3 and then recompile and reinstall FLTK. Now octave works with FLTK without any problem.
