Nitzan,
I’ve tested the Windows 3.4.3 distribution on both Windows 7 and XP machines. On Windows 7, everything seems ok, however the Windows XP machine will not allow me to install any package. The error message eludes to an issue with memory, and as the machine has only 2GB of RAM perhaps that is a limitation. I also found the same issue when using the 3.4.2 windows version which was previously released on the mailing list. The Octave-forge 3.2.4 version on this same XP machine has no problems. Any assistance would be appreciated. octave:3> pkg install mypackage.tar.gz 0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487 C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\msys\bin\tar.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 erro AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x60E90000, RegionSize 0x270000, State 0x10000 C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\msys\bin\gzip.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 err unpack: unarchiving program exited with status: 127 0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487 AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x60E90000, RegionSize 0x270000, State 0x10000 C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\msys\bin\tar.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 erro error: called from `unpack' in file C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\share\octave\3.4.3\m\miscellaneous\unp 187, column 5 error: called from: error: C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\share\octave\3.4.3\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 736, column 5 error: C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\share\octave\3.4.3\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 361, column 9 Kind Regards, Liam Liam Veitch MEng MIET Assistant Engineer, Power Networks Parsons Brinckerhoff veit...@pbworld.com <mailto:veit...@pbworld.com> ; www.pbworld.com/ea <http://www.pbworld.com/ea> Think before you print From: Nit Nit [mailto:nit...@gmail.com] Sent: 26 October 2011 21:58 To: octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [OctDev] Mingw Octave-3.4.3 binaries for testing on windows -Updated I have updated the Mingw Octave-3.4.3 binaries: Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_20111025.7z - MD5:5AA004D933E000E762AE2AE95573ACBD - http://www.multiupload.com/2BE5CPSM1Q Main Changes: share/octave/3.4.3/m/plot/private/__axes_limits__.m - minor fix octaverc - added default font setting as arial Note: fltk graphics is unstable !
