In 2.9 (a development version leading to 3.0, which will be a major new release with some backward-incompatible changes) all the built-in variables have been removed and replaced by functions. In most cases the functions have the same names as the old built-in variables, but some have been completely removed. LOADPATH is one that has been removed. Now you need to use addpath, rmpath, etc. to manipulate the path.
The error is caused by the use of LOADPATH in the config file /etc/octave2.9.conf. I have not changed the config file, and I have purged and reinstalled the package just to be sure. Regards, -- Kim Hansen Vadgårdsvej 3, 2.tv 2860 Søborg Fastnet: 3956 2437 -- Mobil: 3091 2437
