Hmm, thinking about it, I believe it could/should possibly be more prominently documented. Thanks for raising the question.

I don't think this can be done easily. Octave has no notion of files-that-are-installed-but-not-usable, it has a search path, and if a file is in the search path, it is available, if not, then it's not available. Merely installing a package does not add its files to octave's search path, this is done by loading it. benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
