error: __ghostscript__.m: ghostscript is required ( when saving plot as image file using print())

[Beverly M]

Hello,

I have Octave 3.6.4 installed on Windows. I am trying to save a plot as a jpg image using print and get this error. I have pasted my code below. I don't know whether it is a problem with Octave or if my code is wrong. I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks.

> f = figure;

> x = [0:10];

> plot(x,x.^2)

> print (f,'-djpg','test.jpg')
