polynomialCurves2d: No such file or directory

[twoai]

I just installed the package in Octave 9.1.0 and pkg load matgeom gave the following warning. It seems that polynomialCurves2d is missing from matgeom-1.2.4

warning: addpath: /home/hs556/.local/share/octave/api-v59/packages/matgeom-1.2.4/polynomialCurves2d: No such file or directory
warning: called from
matgeom_package_register at line 52 column 5

Hi twoai,
yes indeed, the package "polynomialCurves2d" has been removed.
I have updated the installation script, this should work better now (from the "gnu-octave" branch).

Best,
David

I still get this error with octave 10.1.0. Can the package at https://gnu-octave.github.io/packages/matgeom/ be updated please?

Hi,
I am not the maintainer of the package repository at gnu-octave. I suggest contacting them directly.

I am not familiar with the packaging mechanisme of octave, buyt maybe extracting or cloning the files of the project at the right location may work?

@keithbriggs The fix below works for me on Octave 10.1.0.

Download the tarball matgeom-1.2.4.tar.gz (link below)

Untar it: tar -zxvf matgeom-1.2.4.tar.gz

In the folder matgeom-1.2.4, remove the text "polynomialCurves2d" from the two files: INDEX and inst/matgeom_package_register.m

Tar the folder back: tar -zcvf matgeom-1.2.4_patch.tar.gz matgeom-1.2.4/

Now go to Octave and do: pkg install matgeom-1.2.4_patch.tar.gz

Do "pkg load matgeom" and observe that this nuance is no more.

Fantastic - thank you, this works! Just one thing - the second file is actually called inst/__matgeom_package_register__.m
