invoking the toolboxes

[Mukesh]

Hi,

thanx david, quentin and all other members for helping me out of the 
installation problem.
the solution seems to be temporary, but still this is good enough for me 
if i can use symbolic toolbox..

can somebody plz help me about how to invoke the toolbox like symbolic 
toolbox.
i read somewhere that i need to add the directory that have my 
"symbols.oct" file to octave path.
and then i need to type "symbols" at the octave command prompt.

i first checked the path for my file "symbols.oct" and i found it at
/usr/libexec/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/octave-forge

now when i typed command "path" on my octave command prompt i got 
following output
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
octave:4> path
Octave's search path contains the following directories:
  .
 /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu//
 /usr/local/libexec/octave/site/oct/api-v13/i686-pc-linux-gnu//
 /usr/local/libexec/octave/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu//
 /usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m//
 /usr/local/share/octave/site/api-v13/m//
 /usr/local/share/octave/site/m//
 /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.71/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu//
 /usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/m//
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but still when i typed symbols on my octave command prompt it says

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
error: `symbols' undefined near line 5 column 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i also tried going to the directory where symbols.oct is located and 
type "symbols" their but it gives a different error.
