Hello there, I'm sorry to disturb but as an absolute beginner with Cygwin I couldn't find the correct answer to this problem, even if I found some interesting clues from previous answer in mailing list (http: //cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-04/msg00254.html). I've sent this email at cygwin-apps at first, but I'm afraid it's the wrong list, please excuse me and ignore it.
This is my very first installation (default + math package; Windows 7 machine), I did not performed any change or customization but I tried to re-install the whole a couple of times to recover, unsuccessfully. As the former reporter said in aforementioned question, I get this error: gennarif@NIDORAN ~ $ octave /usr/bin/octave- 3.6.4.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Then I performed the suggested check but got different output gennarif@NIDORAN ~ $ cygcheck octave- 3.4.0.exe cygcheck: could not find 'octave-3.4.0.exe' gennarif@NIDORAN ~ $ cygcheck -l liblapack0 /etc/profile.d/lapack0.csh /etc/profile. d/lapack0.sh /usr/lib/lapack/cygblas-0.dll /usr/lib/lapack/cyglapack-0. dll That's really strange because octave DO exist, but in this path (which has not the /usr/ parent folder): ...\cygwin\bin\octave-3.6.4. exe As so the the dll: ...\cygwin\lib\lapack\cygblas-0.dll ... \cygwin\lib\lapack\cyglapack-0.dll Really, I can't figure out what's on earth is going on, what I'm doing wrong? (well, actually I really did do nothing at all... ) Am I missing some package, setting or else? As already said, I just did the automatic installation from a directory after having downloaded the files via the setup.exe dialog GUI. thanks in advance, Federico Invita i tuoi amici e Tiscali ti premia!
