octave-forge newby install question

[the_verge]

I recently compiled octave-forge, version 2006.07.09 and everything went
fine.  At the end of it all, I was told to put the following lines into my
.octaverc file in order to use octave-forge:

LOADPATH = [
'/usr/lib/octave/2.9.6/site/oct/i486-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge:/usr/share/octave/2.9.6/site/m/octave-forge//:',
 
LOADPATH ];

and

EXEC_PATH = [ '/usr/lib/octave/2.9.6/site/exec/i486-pc-linux-gnu:',
EXEC_PATH ];

When I did that and then ran octave, I got the following message:

error: `LOADPATH' undefined near line 2 column 126
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 2, column 10
error: near line 2 of file `/home/muellerv/.octaverc'

can anybody help?  

Thanks,
Vergil
