I've tried repeatedly to get a good install of 3.4.0 from the octave-3.4.0-i386.dmg file, and each time when I launch octave I get a slew of addpath errors relating to an old version of octave I once installed. Furthermore, even the most basic octave commands only return the error message
The addpath erros look like this.

I've tried searching the net for clues on how to properly uninstall octave so that I can get a clean install, but all I've found are useless tips for terminal commands like this
I say useless, because I've tried them and they only give further errors. I've also tried the simple expedient of dragging the octave.app file from my /Applications folder to the trash. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone here have any ideas how I can exorcise the ghosts octave past from my machine and get a nice clean fresh start?
