pkg: error running `make' for the struct package.

[mismichael]

Hi,
I am relatively fresh user of Octave hence I might need a bit more
explanation on the installation of packages.

I am using Octave 5.1.0 for Windows, zip package. I have no admin access to
the machine I use and I am currently unable to install the software from
installer.
When I try to install package OPTIM I need STRUCT. I use following command
to get STRUCT:
/pkg install -forge -local struct/

And this is what I get in return:
/民In file included from error-helpers.cc:22:0:

Is there a way to istall the packages manually? I have tried also to
download the package to my HDD and install it from there. Effect was the
same.
Thank you.
