Re: How to actually change octave's LOADPATH?

[etienne]

  Hi Juan,

iirc, w/ 2.1.73, any of the following should work:

  LOADPATH = [LOADPATH,":/cygdrive/D/Quantum-Octave//"];

or
  ## Don't forget the "\" (or "...") at the end of the line
  LOADPATH = [LOADPATH,\
              ":/cygdrive/D/Quantum-Octave//"];

If it doesn't could it be a "/" (unix) vs "\" (dos) issue?

  Hth,

  Etienne
