Update of bug #43534 (project octave):
Status: None => Duplicate
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
This is a classical pitfall on Windows that pops up regularly.
Octave shouldn't be installed in a path containing spaces. Just live with it.
This also holds for many of Octave's dependencies (e.g., to use Ghostscript,
the /path/to/gs.exe shouldn't contain spaces either).
On other OS-es Octave doesn't like spaces in path names either, but it is on
Windows that spaces in path- and filenames are widespread.
I think there are many duplicates and variants of this bug report and many
posts in the help-octave ML about this.
Just a recent example: bug #42160
(Maybe we should add a check in the MXE-built installer to detect spaces and
other unacceptable characters in the installation paths. I do not know if this
is possible.)
