Closing as invalid because the primary error here seems to be that the OP did not have the gslcblas library installed already.

The other issue with the gsl package is that you need to install the gsl library before installing the octave package.

The gsl library and preinstalled version of the octave package will hopefully be in the next release of the windows installer.

In the mean time, you attempt to install the gsl library by opening a bash shell from the octave menu and doing:

It will take a while.

If that completes without errors. then open octave, and attempt to install the octave gsl package.

Hi,

How did you start octave? Chances are that this is the same issue as described in Bug 49765 [1] and fixed ready for the enxt release

Can you verify ?
