help is giving errors

[bharat pathak]

julius,

disk is not full as in D drive where octave is installed 18 gb of free space is there.

where os is installed on C drive 26gb of free space is there.

also I tried installing different version like the higher ones, but I keep getting into
same problems.

It sounds like memory allocation failed - maybe a full disk? - jos

  No. The message is confusing, because msys is re-using some code from
  cygwin project, but you don't need cygwin.

  This does not solve your problem, but at the moment, I can't figure
  out why this is happening.
