I have found a slight variation on what Baird mentioned, though it involves less typing at startup. Add the following line
addpath (genpath('/usr/share/octave/site/api-v22/m/octave2.9-forge/'), "-end"); to the file ``~/.octaverc''. The second argument ensures that the paths are added after the current set of paths. I found that if I did not specify this, the paths would be prepended to the Path variable (or list or whatever it is); then when I tried to call the plot command the `drawnow' function from octave-forge stirred up trouble. Note that I had to create the file ``~/.octaverc'' and that whenever I start octave I get over 120 copies of a warning message. warning: autoload: `' is not an absolute file name I don't know precisely what's causing this or how to correct it, but I can see the commands despite their expressed concerns. -- octave2.9-forge doesn't work in Gutsy! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
