The problem here is that signal-oct305 installs _only_ for octave-3.0.5, and it is invisible to other versions of Octave. You have a few options: 1) Use the octave-3.0.5 command to run that version. One issue here is that the internal GNU info documentation won't be available. 2) Use fink

Yes, I picked the wrong version. I removed signal-oct305 and installed signal-oct363. However, functions such as chirp and window are still coming up as undefined. But as a test I tried another package, audio-oct363, and it is working. Functions such as sound and soundsc are recognized and bring
