Re: Problem with Octave-2.9.14

[Rajkiran]

Hi,

 I'm working on Linux. Ok, now I understand that the problem is possibly
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I haven't made any changes to LD_LIBRARY_PATH earlier.
What should it be set to ? I've tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
~/Installs/octave-2.9.14/lib:~/Installs/octave-2.9.14/libexec:/~/Installs/octave-2.9.14/share

But, still it picks up files corresponding to 2.1.50 version. Btw, from
where (which environmental variable) does Octave pick the path for the m-files
in the share/ directory ?

Thanks,
Rajkiran
