 It maybe that Octave may be missing certain libraries. One that I needed to
make it run was lbstd++. However I am running Linux; I don't know what kind of
OS is on  DEC. Perhaps you can get a binary from http://www.rpmfind.net. I
believe there is a site in the UK, as well as the one in Massachussettes.


                                Good Luck,


                                Jonathan


P.S. You are not a spnner; these problems occur. Octave is well worth the
trouble.
