Standard shell advice: use "echo $?" to check the exit status if there's no error message. > I've tried: I've rebooted my computer. I've "reinstall"ed octave from > Setup.exe.

It's a problem with having multiple clashing cygwin installations at the same time. You've probably got two versions of the cygwin DLL in your PATH at once, and I see that GnuARM ships with libiconv/libintl as well, which also might be interfering. We'll need to see your cygcheck output, as described at http://cygwin.com/problems.html (please pay special attention to the request to send the .out file as an attachment rather than inline text, it makes a nasty mess in the archives if you paste it into the body of your email!) cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
