at home and at work I have the same problem with octave under cygwin. In
both cases I octave just quits without giving any output, no prompt, no

determine if it is getting hung in one of the startup scripts.
Otherwise follow the problem reporting guidelines ...

You might try starting octave using "octave -V" or "octave -x" (or both) to

Also try "cygcheck -c octave", which verifies the package is intact.  If

DLLs that octave depends on, and make sure they're all installed: maybe
there's a missed dependency in the setup.ini lines.

that doesn't show anything, try "cygcheck /bin/octave.exe" which shows all the

octave -V, octave -x, octave -V -x   all output nothing

cygcheck -c octave

I attached the cygcheck.out file, as requested. It was made on the win2000 computer with rxvt as terminal, but I have the same problem with cmd as terminal. Play online games with your friends with Messenger http://www.join.msn.com/messenger/overview
