Hello,
I've just tried to install cygwin/octave according to John's hints on
_ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/README.Windows_
I followed the steps 1 - 11, 17 (installing the binary package)
After starting octave I've got this error:
> GNU Octave, version 2.1.49 (i686-pc-cygwin).
> Copyright (C) 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 John W.

What is the problem? gnuplot is installed but there is no pgnuplot
anywhere in the whole cygwin installation.
