Can you run octave -x | tee oct.log and send the result? That will let us know what commands octave is trying to run, not just what fails. > 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' > > but "dispatch" is not part of octave-forge, right?

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. crh ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
