It must be something simple I missed (like setting an
environment variable perhaps) but I'm trying octave for the
first time so I'm not sure what to look for to fix it. The
documentation on the octave website didn't help so far in my
browsing of it. I have installed
i octave 2.1.71-1 Matlab-like language for
computations
i octave-forge 2005.06.13- Extensions to octave
without problem. I run octave and I get:
GNU Octave, version 2.1.71 (powerpc-apple-darwin).

error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file
`/sw/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file
`/sw/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
octave:1>
Ignoring the error, since I got the correct octave prompt
anyway, if I try to run the "simple examples" from
http://www.octave.org/doc/Simple-Examples.html#Simple-Examples
the first matrix assignment is OK, then I get:
b = rand (3, 2);
error: `rand' undefined near line 1 column 5
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column
3
and later,
x = lsode ("f", x0, t);
error: `lsode' undefined near line 1 column 5
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column
3
It seems to be missing most or all of the functions it is
supplied with? Like it hasn't initialised correctly or
something??
This is on a TiBook G4 10.4.3, Xcode 2.2preview (haven't
gotten round to updating) and a case-sensitive formatted
hard disk. Exact same behaviour on my G5 with 10.4.3
server, where the fink binaries were compiled.
Clues much appreciated...many thanks,
