Re: octave + octave-forge via Debian's apt-get

[Claudio Belotti]

Al,
from a shell you can do:
apt-show-versions octave-forge

After apt-get install octave-forge you should have octave-forge functions in 
your path, try to find the "sparse" file (in my system 
/usr/share/octave/2.1.53/site/m/octave-forge/sparse)

and check under octave the path with "path".
