How?  From source?

Did you really type precisely that, without a space between the cd and
the cd command directory name?

Precisely what message do you see?

Now I'm really confused.  Which version "pops up"?

Where are they?  What is the value of LOADPATH in Octave?  What is the
value of DEFAULT_LOADPATH in octave?
