/usr/include/string.h:#ifndef strcmpi
/usr/include/string.h:#define strcmpi strcasecmp

I will rebuild anyway, just to be sure

it seems a problem related to how run-octave look for the
octfile. Eventually is a cygwin specific issue as link
for dll's don't work. I need to investigate.


after installing I have not anymore the problem

octave:2> find (eye (2))
ans =

   1
   4
octave:3> time
ans =  1.2660e+09


but from run-octave

octave:3> find (eye (2))
error: `find' undefined near line 3 column 1

octave:1> time
error: `time' undefined near line 1 column 1
