Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi,
I have Octave v4.2.2 in Fedora 29. And I also have netcdf installed.
I need to install netcdf package for octave. I downloaded manually but

when

pkg install -forge /home/Gomez/Downloads/netcdf-1.0.12.tar.gz

/home/Gomez/Downloads/netcdf-1.0.12.tar.gz
error: called from
get_forge_pkg at line 34 column 5
get_forge_download at line 26 column 12
pkg at line 382 column 29

pkg load netcdf

error: package netcdf is not installed
error: called from
load_packages at line 41 column 7
pkg at line 411 column 7
Can anybody help me? I installed Octave via Discover utilities.
Regards and thanks in advance
Maria Eugenia

The load is failing because the install is failing.

If you specific the -forge option, it tries to get the named package from
sourceforge, so shouldn't be a local path/filename. If you don't use -forge,
it would try find the file in current directory/or use the path it was
provided with.

So assuming that the file is in the full path you specified, you could do:

pkg install /home/Gomez/Downloads/netcdf-1.0.12.tar.gz

To install from source forge:

pkg install netcdf
