Less is always present on cygwin as it is a dependency
of some base packages.

If less is not present the message will be:

octave:1> source prova.m
/bin/sh: less: command not found

It is an issue with the installed "less".
Please install also libncursesw10-5.7-18

For cygwin mailing list:

less record on setup.ini is reporting:
"requires: cygwin libncurses10 libgcc1"

but less depends on libncursesw10

I don't know if Cygwin expects you to install a pager separately. Is one installed? I don't know why the Octave package seems to not be using this correctly.

I am CCing this bug report to the Cygwin list.

You are good.  I can't see ones(100,1) either.  If I set "more off" then all is well, except for lack of paging.  Inserting "more off" into my program works too.  I am using the build that I downloaded via the Cygwin setup.exe utility.  Thanks for your help.

I suspect a problem with the pager. What happens if you do


ones(100,1)


or


ones(100)


?

Do either of those give you an output?

Also, which 3.4.2 Windows build are you using, where did you acquire it, or did you build it yourself?

If I put the following code in an m-file, start Octave, and run the code:


clear all
u=randn(10,3);
v=u*u'


the matrix v is not displayed.  If I try to use disp to view v I see nothing.  Typing whos shows the size of v is correct. It seems v has been computed correctly, but I can't see the entire result. I can view parts of v using the colon operator, for example a single row. If I change to an 8 by 3 size for u, then I see the result, i.e. it only seems to fail for larger matrices.  Similar behavior occurs after using rand.  If I replace the rand line with repmat to create u, then v is viewable.
