I want to run octave from emacs as an inferior process.
I'm running emacs 23.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.
My .emacs file contains the lines
(autoload 'octave-mode "octave-mod" nil t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.m$" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(abbrev-mode 1)
(auto-fill-mode 1)
(if (eq window-system 'x)
(font-lock-mode 1))))
(autoload 'run-octave "octave-inf" nil t)
Octave is installed on my machine:
cavu{asb}118: which octave
/usr/bin/octave
Octave starts properly from the terminal:
cavu{asb}119: octave

When I run emacs and type
M-x run-octave
the cursor turns into a circle with a rotating dotted arc inside. octave
doesn't start, and emacs is unresponsive (I have to kill it from the
command line.)
Any ideas?
Thanks.
