The physicalconstants package is not necessary at all. It's not a dependency of anything and if you look at it (just type "news physicalconstants" at the octave prompt) you will see why it exists even though it implements no function at all. You would do better removing it and forget it existed. > Trying to install image-2.0.0.tar.gz gives afore mentioned error message. > > File "lo-cutils.h" (mentioned in the error message): >> >> line 50> OCTAVE_API pid_t >> line 51> octave_waitpid (pid_t pid, int *status, int options); This problem seems to be specific to windows and reside somewhere in octave core. There are indeed a lot of changes for the new version of the image package but if you may have to wait until one of the devs involved with windows prepare a new release of this package. > I thought that perhaps the updated packages must be "activated" and loaded > them (pkg load general, pkg load signal, pkg load windows), but the error > messages remains the same. No. Other packages are not necessary for the installation, no need to actually load them before.
