I've been using Octave 2.9.15 on a Mac (Intel) under X.4.11. When Octave
3.0.0 became available a few days ago I decided to update my installation
to it.
Not wanting to dump the old older app, residing in /Applications, until I
had a chance to test the new one, I renamed the old one Octave-2.9.15.app,
then dragged the new Octave.app from the .dmg file to the /Applications
folder. I expected to have to tell the new one the path to search for my
personal script files and functions.
Instead, when I open the new Octave.app it announces
warning: addpath: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/...
octave/2.9.15/m/<filename>
where as in Octave '...' denotes continuation, and '<filename>' refers to
different files. To the command 'path' the respond is
/Users/dushanm/Octave
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/site/m/
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/site/m/startup
So from somewhere it got correct information about the path to my personal
files (the first reference), but wrong information about other paths.
I looked everywhere on my system for some file that refers to '2.9.15' and
found exactly 5 files, 4 of them in ~/Trash, with that reference. In each
case it was in a comment line. Where in the world is Octave getting all
this information, much of it wrong? First I'd like to understand this, and
second I want to correct it.
