If you're into that whole brevity thing:

ERROR: `fidy' undefined
Ln  86, Col 13 of /big/long/directory/path/myfunction.m
Ln  26, Col 12 of /somewhat/shorter/path/slick.m
Ln 113, Col 14 of /random/matrix/theory/rmt.m
Ln  17, Col 14 of /octave/money/back/gaurantee/fx.m

Or cut the full path (although that can be the cause of the
error---you're pointing at the wrong version)

ERROR: `fidy' undefined
Ln   86, Col 13 of myfunction
Ln   26, Col 12 of slick
Ln 113, Col 14 of rmt
Ln   17, Col 14 of fx
