Re: Installing/configuring MXE-Octave under Windows 7

[David]

I said "I'll try it" (future tense). But that was the problem, the order in the path variable. The other version of 'less' (part of MKS Toolkit software) was being found before this one.

I'm still getting this message, but I guess I can ignore it, since it seems to be working:

WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I'll try that, but the error message doesn't indicate that the program wasn't found. I think the problem is that I've got some other software installed that also comes with a 'less' program, and it precedes Octave in the Windows path variable.

So you even don't have tried it?
