No further information from reporter, closing bug report.

See also the projects list on the wiki: http://wiki.octave.org/Projects#Packaging. Ideas for bigger improvements can be suggested there, may be more appropriate than a bug report. There are already a couple of items there about making pkg resolve dependencies.

Thanks for your bug report. Are you talking about dependencies between Octave packages (e.g. signal depends on control) or dependencies on system libraries (e.g. octcdf depends on netcdf)?

The problem of nearly all programming languages is the library installation system. In my view, dependencies should be installed automatically, because end-user doesn't know how to install dependencies or libraries. I mean, if I type pkg install whatever, and it has dependancies, it should install it automatically. I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if I can automatize library installation in a script (allowing a not technical user to run my script in any platform (linux, mac, windows... ).

Other way would be include all libraries in the same package, so everyone has access to same libraries.

Thanks
