Trouble with Octave under Xemacs

[Udaya Bhaskar/HNS]

I am trying to get octave to run under emacs,a s per instructions in the info 
files and I am
having some trouble.
I am starting with a binary distribution of octave 2.0.5, compiled for 
sun-sparc 4.1.2.
I placed the octave-hlp.el, octave-inf.el and octave-mod.el as well as the 
octave-hlp.elc, octave-inf.elc and octave-mod.elc files in the
 XEMACS_HOME/lib/xemacs/site-lisp directory. I byte compiled the *.el files
using the emacs byte-compile.  I got the following warnings during byte 
compilation:

I went ahead anyway. I placed the following lines in my .emacs file.

       (autoload 'octave-mode "octave-mod" nil t)
       (setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.m$" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist))

       (add-hook 'octave-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
     (abbrev-mode 1)
     (auto-fill-mode 1)
     (if (eq window-system 'x)
         (font-lock-mode 1))))

       (autoload 'run-octave "octave-inf" nil t)

Here is what happens. Octave mode seems to work fine. But when I try to 
"run-octave"
sometimes nothing happens. i.e. I never get out of the minibuffer. sometimes a 
new window opens
up, but it is empty, with no prompt or response to any octave commands.

Am I doing some thing wrong or overlooking something?
Octave works fine from the shell.
Please help. Thanks
