now you triggered all my attention as octave package maintainer
try this
$ cd /bin
$ strace -o /tmp/octave.strace octave-3.6.1.exe --version
it should open a system message window mentioning what is missing

Hi Marco,
I ran strace on the octave-3.6.1.exe and
got an empty message file.
of course, octave process never started :-)
However, that strace
terminated with a WinXP error alert box that
said:
octav-3.6.1.exe - Unable to locate component
[
[ This application has failed to start because
[ D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll

I guess that something is seriously screwed-up if
my octave is trying to access a .dll from my
antivirus program. I did install a program
upgrade from Avast on Friday. It seems to be
a bit more intrusive than the previous versions.
However, my upgrade to octave-3.6.1 did not occur
until this morning.

Hi George,
probably octave is just the victim of Avast
I suspect the your antivirus is screwing up cygwin in general.
Probably it tries to inject a dll in the dll chain
does "D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll" exist ?
Regards
Marco
