I had not noticed this was submitted to address@hidden This mailing list is obsolete (we use a bug-tracker instead now) and I don't know how many people might still read this list. address@hidden is the correct place for this conversation so I am going to reply to that list.

This is really bizarre. What's the output of (assuming bash): 

$ type octave-3.2.4
$ echo $PATH

What was your configure command when you built octave?

Did you download the source from octave.org or is this packaged source from a distribution (e.g. srpm)?
