Thaks again John, I'm inclined to agree that it is a defect in my
installation so don't let me take any more of your time. For completeness
sake, in answer to your questions:

address@hidden log]#  

===================================================

I downloaded 3.0.3 rc2 from here
http://www.nabble.com/3.0.3-release-candidate-td19645333.html

And I built it using the supplied instructions. There was a handful of
failures during make check but otherwise all OK.

Incidentally the reason I went to 3.0.3 was because I was having the same
error with colororder with 3.0.0 (per my first post).

As a circumvention to the problem I just cd to the plot directory you can
see below. Plot then works irrespective of the directory I happen to start
Octave from:

address@hidden log]# cat /usr/local/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc  
## System-wide startup file for Octave. 
## 
## This file should contain any commands that should be executed each 
## time Octave starts for every user at this site. 
cd /usr/local/share/octave/3.0.3/m/plot/                                 <<<
I just added this to make it work


So unless I can get to the bottom of it I'm happy to live with that.

Thanks again John for your help and you and your colleagues continuing
support for Octave. It is very much appreciated.

Regards...........Chris
