[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#655475: octave3.2: Seg-fault to call imread or imshow function

[Xiangyu Liu <u122334@gmail.com>]

Hi dear Sebastien,

My octave (3.6.2-5) is OK now ---- it does work normally for imread and imshow.
The warning message is still there -----

octave:1> imread('/home/liuxiangyu/mypicture/003.jpg')

warning: your version of GraphicsMagick limits images to 8 bits per pixel

but the 'segment' disappears .....

So I think the issue in Bug #655475 has gone away, and octave 3.2 isn't in Wheezy now, the Bug#655475 should be closed.



Thanks,
Best Regards,
Xiangyu LIU

Your issue looks similar to #593911. I am therefore merging the two
bugs.

Thanks four your feedback,
