Subject: Problem with installation of Octave
Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2019 11:49:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMCbSMpqUM9Ffn7tcqyfHBJb7J5BKx8zex534r0xdqFpiUdA6g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
when I updated my installation of Cygwin with Octave (4.2.2 to be
precise) and tried running it (while having an X server running), I
ran into a problem with D-bus:
D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine
uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory See
the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
Apparently, installing Octave was not enough, I had to install D-bus
separately. When I had done that, the problem was gone. I guess this
is an omission in the dependencies for Octave. Note: this problem
occurred both with and without the GUI that Octave comes with (octave
--no-gui gave the same error messages).
Kind regards,
Arjen Markus
