Octave from within Emacs

Octave from within Emacs

[CdeB_77]

Hi everybody,

I'm using Emacs 22.3 and Octave 3.03 under Windows Vista, and I want to load
Octave from within Emacs, but I couldn't do it. I tried some things in the
.emacs but when in type "M-x run-octave" appears a messange saying
"Searching for program: no such file or directory, octave". Emacs load the
octave mode but not the program...
How can I solve it???

Best regards

1. Install octave.
2. Make sure the octave executable is in Emacs' exec-path (initialized 
from your PATH environment variable).

As Kevin Rodgers points out, you should make sure that octave is
installed. Then you need to get emacs to find it.

If you aren't comfortable fiddling around with your path, the other
option is to customize inferior-octave-program (i.e. M-x
customize-variable inferior-octave-program) and change it to point at
the octave.exe that you've installed.

I haven't got a windows system to test this on, but I suspect that this
would work.
