trying to install time and miscellaneous packages in Windows Vista...getting errors...Help?

[Tim Rueth]

I am running Windows Vista.  I have successfully installed Octave-3.2.2_gcc-4.3.0 using the Windows Installer.

 

Now I'm trying to install several packages, starting with the "time" and "miscellaneous" packages.  I'm getting errors that make the computer think it's installing them on a unix system or something like that.  Here are the errors I get, and I have no idea what to do next (I'm new to Octave):

 

-> pkg install miscellaneous-1.0.9.tar.gz
configure: error: in `/tmp/oct-3/miscellaneous-1.0.9/src':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
error: called from `pkg>configure_make' in file C:\Program Files\Octave\3.2.2_gc

Help, please??

 

Thanks,
