Freemat - the open source replacement for Matlab
Its a very powerful package, so we were astonished to find a basic function broken in our Ubuntu 8.10. The log10() function is supposed to be there, according to the help manual.
y = log10(2) yields an error message about a missing file.
So we checked the same package in a Debian Lenny (Mepis) installation.
--> y = log10(2)
y =
0.3010
So might the Ubuntu build of Freemat be something a bit special?
Have you found any applications that actually run, but with some features "missing"?
I find this a bit hard to understand, because its not like a proper crash-'n-burn bug. The program actually works! Its just without some of what is supposed to be there.
