RE: Problems installing signal package

[Richardson, Anthony]

Maybe I am pointing out the obvious, if so, I apologize.  The pre-built 
versions of Octave for Windows available from the Octave web site already 
include this version of the signal package (and several other packages).  You 
just need to load it "pkg load signal".

Of course, if you built Octave from source or have special requirements you 
will need to build the signal package from source.
