I think there is nothing left to be fixed here. If the OP can resolve the system configuration issues, maybe provide that to the octsympy wiki as Colin suggested.

Ok, I filed 45499 for the website info thing.

Please do help with Windows installation notes!

Strange, my DESCRIPTION file lists:

I will investigate why that doesn't show up on the website.

> 2. for windows, PATH must include Python dir


Indeed. I am waiting for someone who uses Windows to help with this information... perhaps you can edit this wiki to help document what needs to be done:

https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/wiki/Notes-on-Windows-installation

(I don't have access to windows so I cannot really help with this)

>> system("PATH")

PATH=C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin;C:\Python34;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath; ...

now Python installation make one more step.
It is strange because I did nothing since yesterday.

The problem is now that sympy is required too. And sympy installation gives more problem.
The same happens on onother PC.

I suggest to write in the installation download page (http://octave.sourceforge.net/symbolic/index.html) that:
1. dependencies require sympy
2. for windows, PATH must include Python dir

In the meanwhile i go to sympy discussion to look for a solution (sympy installation looks for Python in windows registry, bu python installation probably does not write into the registry !?! )

Thanks for report. Maybe try testing python with the "system" command within Octave and report output here?

This is the command Promt:

As you see I enter and exit Python
The same happens before diring and after running Octave.

Adding maintainer of symbolic package to CC.

To giovanni: you said python is in the PATH. Can you show that it is so? Can you start python from command line before starting octave? And that it is still in the path once Octave starts?

Trying to instal the pkg, can not find python
I put Python directory in the PATH, but it did no difference.

Python version is 3.4.3
