1) setenv() does not exist in Octave (though, maybe it's defined in
octave-forge?
2) to manipulate the Octave's path, you should use the function
path() that will show/set the LOADPATH variable
type "help path" at the Octave's prompt to learn more about path()
3) you can set your default path in the file "$HOME/.octaverc", where
$HOME is your home directory, e.g. "/usr/people/daniel" or
"/home/daniel".
type "help -i octaverc" and "help -i LOADPATH" to learn more
about LOADPATH, DEFAULT_LOADPATH, and
For instance, my current .octaverc file includes a line like,
LOADPATH = [ ":/home/miquel/Octave//", LOADPATH ];
where I set up my LOADPATH (Octave's PATH) to be the my Octave directory
":/home/miquel/Octave//" and all subdirs within it (as indicated by the
double forward slash at the end) and the default LOADPATH set by
Octave's initialization scripts.
