Hello,
I uninstalled what I had and setup my system such that I was able to locate v3.0.0 of Octave. I then installed that version with everything else I could find for it and it worked.
I then installed the packages I had downloaded using pkg in octave = worked.
I have a pdf octave manual in there somewhere; can someone tell me how to find it?
Thanks,
Greg.

From what you said, it apears that the path is not set. how do you do that?

It appears that your path has been unset.
Try quitting and run octave again as ...
octave --norc
This will avoid read any of the system or user initialization files at startup.
After that check to see what "ver" gives. You can also type "OCTAVE_VERSION" ... that should always work.
If octave functions properly when you start is as "octave --norc" it is likely there is something wrong with your ~/.octaverc file.

Will check my install, but any ideas you have, please send my way!
Thanks,

Its always a good idea to tell us what version of octave you're running.
What do you get when you type "ver" at Octave's command prompt?
