Can you run

OK...with octave-forge installed, I get:

With octave-forge removed, this becomes (leaving out the

same as above):

+ mark_as_command grid

dispatch is a part of octave itself.
calvin:~$ find /sw/lib/octave -name \*dispatch\*
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/dispatch.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/dispatch_help.oct
OK, I have those when octave-forge is installed, and not
when it isn't: did you mean dispatch is part of
octave-forge?
octave:1> b=rand(3,3)
error: `rand' undefined near line 1 column 3
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column

rand is also a part of octave itself, however octave-forge ships an enhanced
version:
calvin:~$ find /sw/lib/octave -name \*rand\*
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/rand.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/randn.oct
I have these when octave-forge is not installed...
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/rand.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/rande.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/randg.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/randn.oct
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/randp.oct
and these too when octave-forge is installed.
Have you tried just doing
fink remove octave-forge
Then running the example code? That would help determine if the problem is
octave related, octave-forge related, or some strange interaction.
Yes. I get the same errors with the example code, for
example,
octave:1> b=rand(3,3)
error: `rand' undefined near line 1 column 3
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column
2
octave:1>
is with octave-forge removed. I don't get the initial
dispatch error though, of course.
Just creating a matrix works fine:
octave:1> a=[1,2;3,4]
a =
1 2
3 4
octave:2>
To answer Martin's question which just arrived,
octave:1> help rand
help: sorry, `rand' is not documented
Additional help for built-in functions, operators, and
variables
[]
whether or not octave-forge is installed, and same
substituting "dispatch" for "rand". On the other hand,
octave:6> help flipud
flipud is the user-defined function from the file
/sw/share/octave/2.1.71/m/general/flipud.m
-- Function File: flipud (X)
[]
works as expected, as does help -i.
Also, the command history doesn't work, i.e., control-p
doesn't do anything.
Many thanks for the help!
