Warning about shadowed core library about iso2mesh HOT 3 CLOSED

I tested this on my octave 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 18.04, I could not see the warning - see screenshot below. I believe base64_encode is a built-in function, but not base64encode or base64decode

on the other hand, in the Debian package I created, the base64{encode,decode} functions were removed from the package to avoid conflict with octave-jsonlab, see

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-octave-team/octave-iso2mesh/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/rules#L22

again, it is possible that my ppa version of the iso2mesh package was too old. I do think that octave 5.2/6 do not have such issue suggest that it is a local problem.

can you run locate base64encode.m and find out which file is in conflict?

Sorry about that one. This one was the issue:
/usr/share/psychtoolbox-3/PsychHardware/iViewXToolbox/cbase64/base64encode.m
... because i did a lazy sudo apt install octave-* which includes octave-psychtoolbox-3
I don't need this package anyway, so I removed it and the warning is now gone.

thanks for the update. I am closing this ticket for now.
