Help Installing Control Tool Box for Windows Vista

[John J. Kelly]

Hi,

 

I just installed Octave 3.2.0 and I'm running Windows Vista. I dowloaded the Control Toolbox package named: control-1.0.11.tar.tar

 

However, I was informed (perhaps incorrectly) that Windows cannot handle *.tar.tar files properly & that I should change the second extension to 'gz':

control-1.0.11.tar.gz

 

Next, I attempted to install the package by entering the following command in Octave:

 

pkg install control-1.0.11.tar.gz

 

The result was the following error:

 

"error: memory exhausted or requested size too large for range of Octave's index type--trying to return to prompt"

 

I have over 90 GB free on my hard drive and about 1 GB of available RAM, so I'm inclined to think that neither are the problem.

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance,

 

John
