[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36076] Missing Ghostscript error - print function

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36076 (project octave):

"I did install Ghostscript and added it to my Path" - did you add the
subdirectory gs\gs<version>\bin to the path or just gs\gs<version>?
(the former is needed)

Just check the actual path in Octave with the command:

strplit (getenv ("PATH"), ";")

For example, what I get is (look at last entry [1,9]):


octave-3.6.1.exe:1> strsplit (getenv ("PATH"), ";")
ans =
{
  [1,1] = C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-3.6.1_MSVC2008
  [1,2] = C:\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin
  [1,3] = C:\WINDOWS\system32
  [1,4] = C:\WINDOWS
  [1,5] = C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
  [1,6] = C:\Programs\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin
  [1,7] = C:\Programs\TortoiseSVN\bin
  [1,8] = C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
  [1,9] = C:\Programs\gs\gs9.04\bin
:


FWIW, I usually copy the file gswin32c.exe to gs.exe as I suspect that Octave
actually looks for a file called gs.exe
