Copying the fftw3.h file worked fine.

It is a VC version of the pthread lib available at the link mentioned 
above -
I'm not sure which version of VC the used though. I will try and copy 
the files
as you suggested.

I have another issue as well.  I use (the C99)

    #include <complex.h>

in some C-files that I call from the oct C++ files (it's in C since the 
code is shared
with some C mex-files for Matlab). MSVC8 don't seem to support complex.h 
(I also tried
MSVC 9.0 without success). Doesn't MSVC conform to iso C99 or am I 
missing some
development libs for MSVC?

Thanks for the help!
