It appears that your path has been unset.
Try quitting and run octave again as ...
octave --norc
This will avoid read any of the system or user initialization files at startup.
After that check to see what "ver" gives. You can also type "OCTAVE_VERSION" ... that should always work.
If octave functions properly when you start is as "octave --norc" it is likely there is something wrong with your ~/.octaverc file.

Hello,
I get this:

Will check my install, but any ideas you have, please send my way!
Thanks,
Greg.
Its always a good idea to tell us what version of octave you're running.
What do you get when you type "ver" at Octave's command prompt?

Hello,
I have installed octave on my Kubuntu 64 linux box.
I have downloaded a number of packages I would like to install into octave. However, when I do <pkg install "package_name.tar.gz"> at the octave prompt, I get a message:
octave:1> pkg install ad-1.0.4.tar.gz
parse error:

>>> pkg install ad-1.0.4.tar.gz

Can you help me rectify this?
Thanks.
