Re: Octave 3.6.4 and 3.6.2 - urlread failing to load file

Hi,

Under cygwin, trying to use the urlread function in octave causes the
following error:

octave:7> url = 'http://www.google.com';
octave:8> [s,success,message] = urlread(url)
error: /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct: failed
to load: No such file or directory

I've checked that the file exists:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ???????? None 106510 Feb 23 08:38
/usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct

For me is:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct
-rwxr-xr-x 1 marco None 106510 Feb 23 09:38 /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct


it seems to me that ???????? is coming from an error in
your cygwin setup. It is not an octave issue.

It seems you never correctly updated your
/etc/passwd

see "man mkpasswd"

What is the outcome of command "whoami" ?

please follow:
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html

specifically
"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be easily viewed."
