Hi Paul,
as u wrote oin the email we downloaded the Octave-2.1.39  on Windows 2000
Professional and follow the instructions given by you

when we execute the ./Configure --enable-shared at the prompt we get
following Error : ----

"checking whether the c compiler works... configure:error: can't run c
compiled programs "

After that .Configure Command stops further Processing

can u tell the reason for this and how to correct this problem awaiting your
early reply

regds
