[Mukesh]

hi quentin,
thanx a million..
i think i moved one more step towards solving invoking problem..
i unstalled my old octave installation and now i m able to use symbolic 
toolbox..

but still when i invoke octave i get following errors..
===================================================================
error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file 
`/usr/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file 
`/usr/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
