Re: "package video is empty"

[Cameron MacArthur]

At the first command, the list of all the packages shows up (video included).  The second command just returns a new line.  i.e.:

 

octave:2> pkg load video

octave:3>

 

Also, for what it's worth, a lot of error messages come up at start-up now. (This didn't happen right after I installed the packages)  But, I've been messing around trying to install cygwin, so that could have caused some problems.  Maybe I should just try re-installing octave now that cygwin is up and running?

 

Here's my Octave start-up:

Hi Cam, try 
pkg list 
And 
pkg load video 

First list all installed and loaded packages (*). This is a FAQ See in wiki.octave.org. Regards, Andy
