Re: Package installation trouble

[Vinicio Serment Moreno]

Hi Tatsuro, I guess it finally worked, although the bin directory should come first as read in the code of the batch file:

#***********************************************

Rem   Set up PATH. Make sure the octave bin dir

Rem   comes first.

set PATH=C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin;C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0

#*********************************************** 

Apparently I was able to install the 'struct' and 'optim' packages, since a  star(*) symbol appears next to 'optim' and 'struct' when I call the package list as below

#

>> pkg list

optim *|   1.4.1 | C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\share\octave\packages\optim-1.4.1

struct *|  1.0.11 | ...\Octave-4.0.0\share\octave\packages\struct-1.0.11

#

Once again, thanks for your patience and valuable help Tatsuro,

Sincerely,

Vinicio

Purpose is

"Find *only* Octave's install directory and ignore all other path variables that might cause conflicts with octave."
