Re: No octave prompt (no error messages)

at home and at work I have the same problem with octave under
cygwin. In
both cases I octave just quits without giving any output, no prompt, no
error messages.


Check also that your PATH includes /usr/lib/lapack, as octave appears
to need the dlls found there.  My default path doesn't contain this,
and octave by itself fails as you describe:
 : 1007; octave
 : 1008; echo $?
 53
whereas
 : 1009; PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/lapack" octave
 GNU Octave, version 2.1.73 (i686-pc-cygwin).
 [...]
 octave:1> quit
 : 1010; echo $?
 0
