Hi Carnë!

Unfortunately the installation fails: "configure: error: Unable to find 
svm.h."

My steps

1.I downloaded LIBSVM from your link:

  http://carandraug.no-ip.org/octave/libsvm-3.17.tar.gz

2. My main OCTAVE directory is c:\octave

I saved the package file in

  c:\octave\downloads

3. I started OCTAVE and issued the package install command:

  pkg install downloads\libsvm-3.17.tar.gz

The installation fails, and the 1st line is:

configure: error: Unable to find svm.h. Is it installed in the system? 
Is the include path configured properly?

Can you advise me on how to proceed?

Kind regards, and the Seasons Greetings, hans
