Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, that’s exactly where I had Octave installed
(/usr/local/bin), it was the default install location when I installed
octave from my user account.

I’ll just delete and reinstall, but it sent up a lot of errors in the
Ubuntu 12-14 upgrade, did make me worry that the upgrade was going to
crash mid-way through.  It didn’t (thanks!), so all’s fine other than
Octave is gone.

Cheers,
Eli Van Houten
