How to install Octave in Mac OS Yosemite ?

May 21, 2015 Leave a comment

I was trying to execute my Octave scripts to recognize digits using a Neural Network. Octave did not work after I upgraded to Yosemite. Now it works after these steps. It may look simple but this wasted several hours.

brew tap homebrew/science

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/share

brew link –overwrite xz

brew install gcc

I thought this prevented the gcc installation from completing.

==> ../configure –build=x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0 –prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/5.1.0 –li
Error: Permission denied – /Users/radhakrishnan/Library/Logs/Homebrew/gcc

So I changed the permissions and tried again.

sudo chmod 777 /Users/radhakrishnan/Library/Logs/Homebrew

brew install gcc

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/include/freetype2

brew link freetype

brew install octave –with-x11

‘mvn package’ through our debilitating NTLM proxy

May 12, 2015 Leave a comment

I was morose, grief-stricken and close to tears when our evil corporate proxy stopped me from doing anything. Each tool needs a different type of parameters to pass through this proxy. I tried to use cntlm but that did not help. After many hours I realized that this settings.xml builds everything properly.

There are two proxy sections but I have not attempted to remove one. It is working as it is.

JDK9 REPL

May 10, 2015 Leave a comment

I have been building and quickly exploring various JDK 9 features during this past weekend.
There is a new REPL now among other gems. I will update this post as I explore it further.

Mohans-MacBook-Pro:openjdk radhakrishnan$ java -version
java version “1.9.0-ea”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.9.0-ea-b61)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.9.0-ea-b61, mixed mode)
Mohans-MacBook-Pro:openjdk radhakrishnan$ java -jar kulla-0.508-20150510054454.jar
| Welcome to JShell — Version 0.508
| Type /help for help

->

-> String s = “__mainn__”.replaceAll(“[^a-z\\s]”, “”);
| Added variable s of type String with initial value “mainn”

-> System.out.println(s);

-> mainn

-> final Map count = s.chars().map(Character::toLowerCase).collect(TreeMap::new, (m, c) -> m.merge((char) c, 1, Integer::sum), Map::putAll);
| Warning:
| Modifier ‘final’ not permitted in top-level declarations, ignored
| final Map count = s.chars().map(Character::toLowerCase).collect(TreeMap::new, (m, c) -> m.merge((char) c, 1, Integer::sum), Map::putAll);
| ^—^
| Added variable count of type Map with initial value {a=1, i=1, m=1, n=2}

-> int x = 26;
| Added variable x of type int with initial value 26

-> count.entrySet().stream().sorted((l, r) -> r.getValue().compareTo(l.getValue())).forEach(e -> count.merge(e.getKey(), x–, Math::multiplyExact));

-> System.out.println(count.entrySet().stream());
java.util.
-> stream.ReferencePipeline$Head@548a9f61

-> System.out.println(count.entrySet().stream().mapToDouble(e -> e.getValue()).sum());
124.0

Everything can be changed in the REPL. Nothing is final and it is ignored. That is what kulla-dev@openjdk.java.net told me.

The configuration fails because it does not find **freetype

configure: error: Could not find freetype!
configure exiting with result code 1

Check if **freetype** is installed

$ brew install freetype
Error: freetype-2.5.3_1 already installed
To install this version, first `brew unlink freetype’

Since it is already installed we configure like this.

$ bash configure –with-freetype-include=/usr/X11/include/freetype2 –with-freetype-lib=/usr/X11/lib

EcmaScript6

May 7, 2015 Leave a comment

I started with this code which motivated me to explore ES6 further.

        let m = new Map();

        m.set("x",3);
        m.set("y",5);

        for (let [k, value] of m.entries()) {
            m.set(k, (m.get(k) * 2))
        }

        for (let value of m.entries()){
            console.log('Value [' + value + ']');

        }

Earlier I had cooed with pleasure when I coded this.

Now I want to push my luck. So I managed to wangle this code in bits and pieces from some EcmaScript6 aficianodos 🙂

I find it hard to admit that this code is not easy even for someone who claims to have rich experience with Java and software !! Bugs in this code are a different matter altogether.

Moreover since the sorted order changes somehow the result is different than the result of the Java code but I don’t have the motivation to fix this. This is actually an investigation of EcmaScript6 after all.

        var map = new Map;
        Array.from("mainn")
            .map(c => c.toLowerCase())
            .forEach(c => map.set(c, (map.get(c) | 0) + 1));

        let a = [...map.entries()];

        var x = 26;
        a.sort(([k1, v1], [k2, v2]) => v1 < v2).forEach(([k, v]) =>
                                                        {
                                                            console.log( 'k [' + k + '] v [' + v * x--+ ']');
                                                        });

LOG: 'Value [m,1]'
LOG: 'Value [a,1]'
LOG: 'Value [i,1]'
LOG: 'Value [n,2]'

LOG: 'k [n] v [52]'
