Unless it is just a typo in your email, I think the function you're
looking for is "gammainc", no underscore in the function name.  At
least in my octave installation (3.6.0), I get, when looking for the
gammainc function:

octave:1> help gammainc
`gammainc' is a function from the file D:\Octave\Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2\lib\octave
\3.6.0\oct\i686-pc-mingw32\gammainc.oct

 -- Mapping Function:  gammainc (X, A)
 -- Mapping Function:  gammainc (X, A, "lower")
 -- Mapping Function:  gammainc (X, A, "upper")
     Compute the normalized incomplete gamma function,

Hope this helps,
