I wonder if it would be easier for you to download a pre-built version of octave. For example, the Cygwin environment has an option to use Octave; see cygwin.com for details. >> pkg install arpack-1.0.7.tar.gz > : error: working directory cannot be determined > error: the configure script returned the following error: > as_func_success failed. > No shell found that supports shell functions. What are you using to provide a POSIX-like shell on Windows? Again, my recommendation would be to use cygwin, which provides a working port of bash and does not suffer from this problem in the case where a configure script needs to run. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
