Hello,
I installed Octave 2.9.10 from source with Cygwin on WinXP. Everything
is ok, Octave runs, built-in functions work properly, but neither of the
functions in the 'share\octave\2.9.10\m\' directory does work:
octave:3> dir
error: `dir' undefined near line 3 column 1
octave:4> help plot
help: `plot' not found
Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual. Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.
octave:5> doc plot
parse error:
syntax error
>>> doc plot
^
All the .m-files are there. What should I do?
