Hello John,

sorry. This posting should have been an answer to my previously sent 
question. I have had the problem that I didn't have the folder 
/usr/lib/octave which has amongst others the subfolder 
/usr/lib/octave/2.1.73/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ with files like inv.oct, 
pinv.oct or det.oct. The problem was then that I couldn't call this 
functions. After adding

--libexecdir=/usr/lib to the call of configure and rebuilding the folder was 
created and the functions were available.

Bye, Hakan
