Dear Sir/Madame,
I have switched my OS to SuSE Linux 10.1 and for a while trying to install
"Octave" to my computer. Unfortunately, the error message below is the only
thing that i got.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing octave-2.1.64-3.i586[Local packages]
There are no installable providers of gcc-g77 for
octave-2.1.64-3.i586[Local packages]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On my computer, the installed version of gcc is 4.1.0-25 and i could not
find any compatible version of g77 to install. For the installation of
octave, i need exactly gcc-g77 not gcc-fortran.
Can you please help me to deal with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Tolga
Yapici

If you are so interested in using g77 rather than gfortran, it should be
easy enough to grab gcc-3.4.x sources and build g77. One would wonder
why you dislike gfortran so much.

I don't think he dislikes gfortran so much, he just needs _that_
specific version of the package to install octave, I guess.
That would be a SuSE packaging problem, so I'm CC:'ing matz.

[offtopic, but hey]
Try compat-g77. It's only on DVD and FTP, not on the CDs.
Ciao,
Michael.

This is just the case. The problem is not if I like or not. Actually, i am
happy with gfortran. But the package i want to use requires the specific
version g77 4.1.0-25.
If there is no solution, then i will uninstall gcc 4.1.0-25 and all
dependent components and will install gcc 3.3.4 for which i can find g77.
But i think this is a very time consuming work.
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Tolga Yapici
