Hi,
I can't seem to get any packages (tar.gz) installed on Octave in
windows. Packages like: RODBC, xlsreadwrite, ga ..
Octave gives: error COPYING file missing or other errors.
I've got the mingw32 installer for windows.
Help?
Well, not all available forge packages can be successfully built for the
mingw32 build.
Please provide some more information. Which version of octave do you have
installed? Which version of the package do you try to install? Can you post
the commands you executed and octave's error response?
With the 3.2.2 mingw32 installer I can for example install ga-0.9.7 without
errors.

Hi Benjamin and Anandaram,
Thanks for your responses.
I've got Octave 3.2.2. I still don't get the packages to work.
For example, I want to install SPCtools:
ftp://svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk/pub/comp.speech/tools/spctools
and I unzip the files in the package directory
"octave\share\octave\packeges\SPCtools"
,but when I run Octave, it doesn't recognize any of the commands..
