Hi, Under cygwin, trying to use the urlread function in octave causes the following error:
octave:7> url = 'http://www.google.com'; octave:8> [s,success,message] = urlread(url) error: /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct: failed to load: No such file or directory I've checked that the file exists: $ ls -l /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct -rwxr-xr-x 1 ???????? None 106510 Feb 23 08:38 /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct It could be that urlwrite.oct is itself trying to load a file or directory that doesn't exist, I suppose. According to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37207 the problem doesn't appear in Octave 3.6.1, but 3.6.2 is the oldest package I can find, so I can't confirm this. Environment: I'm using Cygwin 1.7.17, Windows 7 SP1, more info available if needed. I've reproduced this with both the 3.6.2 and 3.6.4 octave packages. Are there any changes I can make to get this working? Or even just find the 3.6.1 package?
