reported. But I still get the errors from octave just the same. Now...the first error (on starting octave) is with processing some octave-forge stuff:

error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file `/sw/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD' error: source: error sourcing file `/sw/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'

but "dispatch" is not part of octave-forge, right? And the other example commands that fail, like

octave:1> b=rand(3,3)
error: `rand' undefined near line 1 column 3
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column 2

aren't either?? So...there is still something wrong with my copy of octave...where should I find something related to "dispatch" or "rand" that I could check??

dispatch is part of octave-forge. It is defined in the binary

/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/octave-forge/dispatch.oct

OTOH, rand is from octave directly, there is the file

/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin/rand.oct

What do you get if you say "help rand" or "help dispatch", and do you have these files?
