Octave GUI unable to save plot

I am currently using GUI version octave 3.8.1. When i try to save a plot using the command.

print -deps myplot.eps

i get the following error

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

I understand that its because of the white space in the path 'Program Files" that causing the problem but am not sure how to fix it.

I tried to add the path using add path command. It does not help either. Can some let me know how to proceed.

Having the same problem I learned that three packages for graphs and plotting are available with my Octave 4.0.3 installation. Only one seems to save graphics to a file properly. Use the following command to select it:

graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot")

The "default" pre-selected toolkit apparently doesn't work for me, but the gnuplot does !?!

Read more about the graphics_toolkit options.

I suggest you try the Octave MXE 3.8.1-5 from http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/ and install to a directory without whitespace.
