[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57730] Segmentation fault attempting to install packages

[Allen Windhorn]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #57730 (project octave):

[comment #15 comment #15:]
> Comment #10 appeared to be run from a COmmand Window rather than a bash
shell window which is why I mentioned about the paths.

I ran sh.exe from a command window, to show that even without Octave it gives
a segmentation fault.  Maybe it can't be run that way, but v4.4.1 can.

otherwise the paths may not be correct and other variables may or may not be
set up.

IIRC, the installer requires admin privileges.  If I had any shortcuts
initially, I have lost them.  I tried running octave.vbs, same segmentation
fault.

If I run cmdshell.bat in c:\Octave\Octave-4.4.1 and then ls, I get a directory
listing.  If I do the same in Octave-5.1.0.0, I get a segmentation fault.
