Re: Octave-forge with Windows

[Shai Ayal]

Did you use the --enable-shared flag when configuring octave? make sure you 
follow all the below steps to install octave:

tar xzf octave-2.1.67.tar.gz
cd octave-2.1.67
./configure --enable-shared
make && make install

wait a few hours .....

after that I was able to install octave-forge with no problems
