I wish to install the signal package so I need to install control. I 
keep getting the message below. I haven't used packages on Octave before
 so I would be grateful for any help. 
Thanks.
 
octave-3.6.4.exe:15> pkg install -forge control
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory

The root cause is explained by

"
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
"

error message - which is not surprising since you are on Windows.

IIRC, there are precompiled packages for Windows, but I am not running Windows, 
so I don't remember the details.

Look for Octave package bundle.
