Jonas Olsson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: lgamma is missing Date: 24 Jan 1993 23:52:53 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve Univ. Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 12 Message-ID: <1jva4lINNdl@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: proteus.eeap.cwru.edu Keywords: Octave, mathlib, lgamma, signgam I'm trying to compile Octave (a Matlab clone) and it uses the function lgamma. 386BSD comes with a man page for it and it is also mentioned in <math.h>. In the man page is is described to return ln|gamma(x)| and the external integer signgam returns the sign of gamma(x). In the mathlib-2.1-386bsd package there is a function lgamma, but it does not set the external variable signgam, and therefore doesn't work with (unmodified) Octave. Jonas Olsson ljo@po.cwru.edu
