The error means you still have a script in your path that has the same
name as a function. Try one or more of the following:

* move, delete, or rename all .m files in your home directory
* run Octave from a different directory
* do not add directories to your path, or start Octave with the --norc option
* try "demo imshow"

If you can look on line 166 of imshow.m, you can narrow down which
functions are being called and see if you have scripts with the same
name.

Consider upgrading to a new version of Octave, many improvements have
been made since version 3.2.3, including a change to the error message
you are seeing that would tell you exactly what file you need to
rename or move out of the way.
