Re: problems installing pkg general on Windows 7

[G . Merchant]

I have a problem installing packages. 
I am running Octave 3.8.1-4 under Windows 7. 
When I go to C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1-4\src and run build_packages

I get the following messages.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
build_packages
.
.(some messages)
.
.

pkg: error running `make' for the general package.

error: called from 'configure_make' in file 
C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1-4\share\octave\3.8.1\m\pkg\private\configure_make.m
near line 82, column 9
