Package: octave2.1
Version: 2.1.69-1
Severity: normal
The documentation for lgamma indicates it requires two arguments, but
doesn't say what they are:
octave:1> help lgamma
lgamma is a built-in mapper function
-- Mapping Function: lgamma (A, X)
-- Mapping Function: gammaln (A, X)
Return the natural logarithm of the gamma function.
See also: gamma and gammai.
Apparently only one argument is allowed:
octave:2> lgamma(2,3)
error: lgamma: too many arguments
I suggest the first argument be removed from the documentation string,
as with the following patch.
