I got the following error when I ran 'testPmtk3' in Octave

error: `minFunc' undefined near line 139 column 48
error: called from:
error: /home/ramk/softwares/pmtk3-master/toolbox/SupervisedModels/logreg/logregFit.m at line 139, column 46
error: /home/ramk/softwares/pmtk3-master/demos/logregL2FitTest.m at line 20, column 8
error: /home/ramk/softwares/pmtk3-master/testPmtk3.m at line 61, column 1

Can someone please help resolve this?

Same problem with Octave 2.8.0 on osx and PMTK3

possible solution:

Download the "misc" folder from the older version: in a terminal window, create a folder, then:

svn checkout http://pmtk3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/@1157 pmtk3-r1157

Look under the folder "pmtk3-r1157", copy the folder "misc" to your "pmtk3-master" folder.

Relaunch Octove, re-run initPmtk3Octave. This will create a few warning that functions in the "misc" folder "shadow" various functions. I don't know yet whether this creates problems down the road. At least we get minFunc()

testPmtk3() fails later ... am trying to find out.
