I have the VS2010 installation of Octave 3.6.2 on my PC (running win XP SP2, no admin rights). I am trying to update the control package as I would like to try some of the new functions related to experimental data handling and system identification. However, when I try to update the package from forge, I get the following error message:
>> pkg install -forge control
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory `/tmp/oct-3/contro
l/src'
tar -xzf slicot.tar.gz
mv slicot/src/*.f .
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-3/control/src'
error: called from `pkg>configure_make' in file D:\Octave-3.6.2\share\octave\3.6
.2\m\pkg\pkg.m near line 1385, column 9
error: called from:

error: D:\Octave-3.6.2\share\octave\3.6.2\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 383, column 9
If I download the package to my hard drive and try to install it locally, I get the same thing:
>> pkg install control-2.4.2.tar.gz
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory `/tmp/oct-5/contro

tar -xzf slicot.tar.gz
mv slicot/src/*.f .

Is it even possible to update individual packages as I am trying to do, or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Arnaud
