Beware the definite article "the." I assume that "the" folder is /sw/bin If indeed that's where you looked, then your PATH variable is almost certainly the problem.
Just in case, what happens when you type in ls -l /sw/bin/octave*

If so how do get them to be as suchrecognized or download them from somewhere. Thanks for your help!

I had X11 pre-installed, but how do I get octave to work now? When I did this a year ago withmy other iBook I could just go into X11 and type 'octave' and it wouldstart. Do I have to prepare anaccess path? Any ideas?
