Before: I have cygwin (ver 1.5.25-15) with octave (ver 3.0.2-1), X
and a
few other packages. My OS is XP with Service Pack 3. Everything
works
fine.
Possible cause: I installed the GNUARM tools
Argh. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP alert!
After: When I run octave, either from a bash shell or an xterm
window, it
just thinks for a couple of seconds and then gives me another prompt
- if
octave ran, it quit right away. There is no error message or other
indication of what went wrong. Other /usr/bin executables run just
fine.
Standard shell advice: use "echo $?" to check the exit status if
there's no
error message.
When I run echo $? after running octave I get: 53
That means you're missing a DLL octave needs to run. Run
'cygcheck octave' and look for DLL(s) it reports missing. Then, look
up the packages that contain the DLL(s) that are missing with
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>. Install those packages with 'setup.exe'.
