Yes this is a known problem, and clearly outlined in the installation instructions. Not only by Tatsuro, but already by Benjamin and probably earlier on.

I'm closing this report with "wont fix" and adapt summary

Isn't this a known problem when paths have spaces in them?

Tatsuro recommends installing Octave on a path without spaces to work around it.

When issuing a


print -deps fig1.eps

from octave 3.4.3 commandline I get the following responce:


octave:5> print -deps fig1.eps
octave:7> print -deps fig1.eps'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


Other options has been tried but with the same result. OS is Windows XP SP3

Best Regards
Bent
