| Hello,
| 
| I found that octave-2.1.50a-inst.exe does not install well in my WinXP.
| Something went wrong with the links to the octave directories.
| 
| To fix the problem, I wrote a workaround.bat located in the root of the
| drive, where octave is installed (MyDrive) with the following content:
| 
| \MyOctavePath\octave\bin\ln -sf /cygdrive/MyDrive/MyOctavePath/octave/bin
| /bin
| \MyOctavePath\octave\bin\ln -sf /cygdrive/MyDrive/MyOctavePath/octave/tmp
| /tmp
| \MyOctavePath\octave\bin\ln -sf
| /cygdrive/MyDrive/MyOctavePath/octave/octave_files /octave_files
| \MyOctavePath\octave\bin\ln -sf /cygdrive/MyDrive/MyOctavePath/octave/opt
| /opt
| \MyOctavePath\octave\bin\sh -e /bin/install_octave.sh
| 
| After the execution of this, everything worked fine.

This message was really from Josef dot Roider at linde-le dot com dot   The From:
line in the header was munged when I resent it to the list.
