[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64041] No such file or directory

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #64041 (project octave):

as said earlier, windows installations come with packages including symbolic.
you don't need to try to install it to use it.  you can just do:

pkg load symbolic

and start using the package.

that said, if the path issue needs to be fixed:

(1) what is the pathname to you user profile? 

(2) where do you have octave installed?  If it is installed in c:/program
files or c:/octave, then the program location itself shouldn't be a problem.
If it does (if you selected the 'for only this user' installation option and
octave was installed under your user profile) I would recommend uninstalling
and reinstalling into a location like C:\Octave or under the default Program
Files location for 'all user' installations.

if (1) has non-ascii characters, then we need will need to tell octave to use
some other location for temp space, no matter where octave is installed.  this
can be done using a command within octave. that command can be saved in a
startup file (.octaverc) that will be run everytime octave starts to change
the location.  see bug #55646 for details on the commands to set.

let us know if you need more assistance troubleshooting this.
