[Rcppoctave-user] unable to install RcppOctave (Octave 3.8 Linux)

[Renaud Gaujoux]

Hi Bernard,

thank you for reporting this.
It looks like there are 2 different issues here:
  * with mpi: this issue is due to Octave trying to compile modules with
MPI support. I have seen this before and am not yet sure why/how to fix it.
  * without mpi: this seems to be due to incompatibilities with 3.8, on
which I have not tested RcppOctave

I cannot look into these errors now, but will do in the next couple of
weeks.

Just to get a log of these errors for the latest dev version, can you
please run the same installations using the version on github:

library(devtools)
install_github("RcppOctave", 'renozao', ref = 'develop')

Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud
