Re: Newbie Question: Launching Octave Control Systems Toolbox

[Lukas Reichlin]

It looks like you didn't install OCST. Since Octave 3.2.0, the control package 
is not part of the "core" installation of Octave anymore. You need to install 
it separately as described in [1]. Launch Octave, use the "cd" command to 
switch to the directory where your downloaded package is, then type something 
like "pkg install control*". The latest release is control-1.0.17, you can get 
it by [2].
