very good idea. I am back working on octave and trying to use qtoctave for the numerical analysis course that I am teaching. I have just compiled succesfully the sources of qtoctave I downloaded with svn today, on a Ubuntu 7.04 on AMD64, but I have some trouble running the application. I have built a .deb package with checkinstall that I have thereafter installed. (I can share this package with the people who would like) As qtoctave starts, it immediately opens a pop-up windows containing "octave has finished. restarting" that comes back when I close it. I wanted to check and change the definition of the octave binary used by qtoctave, in ./qtoctave/config.rc, but I found no corresponding entry that I could change. As I started qtoctave from the command line, I got there Error: /home/np/.qtoctave/menus not found QThread::wait: Thread tried to wait on itself What can I do to arrange this problem ? Is there any dedicated mailing list related to qtoctave developpement or qtoctave usage to which I could subscribe ? Is there a wiki related to qtoctave where I could contribute ? Wouldn't be adequate that such a wiki be included in the official octave wiki to support the combined usage and developpement ? Unfortunately, I do not (yet) speak, and even read spanish so I can hardly contribute, as a simple / advance user to the doc. But I am ready, as I plan to use qtoctave, to help with my students in the course of the year if I can.
