Re: [OctDev] Install package under Windows

[Greg <ewa...@gm...>]

I didn't knew that there were pre-compiled packages. I simply went to
http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php and clicked "Download" for the
needed packages...

I will try Andy's solution as soon as I'm back on Windows!

Thanks


Greg
