Octave 3.0.0 on a PC

[Adam Robertson]

I installed the windows binaries. All appears to go well until I actually launch Octave. I get the usual,

Octave was configured for "i686-pc-msdosmsvc".

 - Use `pkg list' to see a list of installed packages.
 - SciTE editor installed. Use `edit' to start the editor.
 - MSYS shell available (c:\Program Files\octave\msys).
 - Graphics backend: jhandles.

What comes next is a mess of warnings:

 

Warning: addpath: C:\Program Files\Octave\libexec\octave\packages\windows-1.0.2\i686-pc-msdisnsvc-api-v27: no such files or directory.

 

I get similar warnings for a large list of packages. Upon inspection I find that I have the windows-1.0.3 package and not i686-pc-msdisnsvc-api-v27 file, but rather the i686-pc-msdosmsvc-api-v32.

 

 

I also get a slew of errors for a different path,

 

Warning: addpath: C:\Program Files\Octave\share\octave\2.9.15\m: No such file ore directory.

 

Of course this doesn't exist, I installed 3.0.0, and the files are in the 3.0.0 directory, not the 2.9.15.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Adam
