Re: [OctDev] Re: A new standalone octave for 2.1.60, and setup.

[Ole J. H. <wat...@ya...>]

Hi, Paul.

Yes, I used octave.nsi, and No, I didn't use the file you provided.
I've built Octave, octave-forge from scratch.

I've tested the gshow function, and my gnuplot pops up. ;-)

I can install Octave by using the installer, which works.
I've tried NSIS-2.02 and 2.0, and they both are giving this error:
What version of NSIS did you make the Octave-2.1.50 package with?

This is what doesn't work(, and what to do... )

No Language selection appears: This is easy to solve.
No License text appears: It shouldn't be difficult to fix.

At the end of the installation: Windows can't find run.exe, and throws 
this error message at me:

"Error: Couldn't find Files\GNU anywhere.
I even looked in the PATH, I also tried appending
[1]: 
[2]:.exe
"

Seen this error before?

And rxvt doesn't pop up either...What libraries are rxvt depending on? 
I've tried to compare with the install-package for Octave-2.1.50.

I've compared the entries in REGEDIT as well. Same entries are found in 
both Octave-2.1.50 and Octave-2.1.60.
I believe the problem isn't here....Rather the PATH settings, I guess?

Personally I can survive without the language and license, but when 
install_octave.sh is called I'm getting the error mentioned above.

Any suggestions?

Ole
