log2() function from C standard library is inaccurate

2014-06-19 Thread Falk Tannhäuser
I noticed that the log2() function in GNU Octave returns inaccurate results for many arguments that are exactly representable integer powers of 2. After discussion on the Octave mailing list https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42583 it occurs that Octave doesn't have this problem on most other platform

Since I updated gcc from version 4.9.0-1 to 4.9.2-1, I obtain the error collect2: Fehler: ld mit Signal 11 [Segmentation fault] beendet when compiling and linking a C or C++ program. However, an executable is generated and appears to work as expected. I installed the latest test release of

Update to libopenblas 0.2.19-1 breaks Octave

2016-09-10 Thread Falk Tannhäuser
Hi, After the recent update of the OpenBLAS library from 0.2.16-1 to 0.2.19-1, I was unable to launch Octave (version 4.0.1) - neither octave-cli nor the GUI works. No error message is displayed when launching from the Bash command line, the program just silently exits, returning an exit code

Hi, Finally it seems that my problems were caused by an incomplete update of cygwin1.dll from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 and after a reboot everything works fine (cygwin 2.6.0-1 with libopenblas 0.2.19-1 and octave 4.0.1-2). So there is no bug after all - sorry for the noise! Falk cygcheck.tar.xz Descript

I started to test the new OpenCV packages and I noticed that each call to the imshow() function delays for usually 25 seconds. Most of the time, the following message is displayed: ** (Great title:11352): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
