error: `samin' undefined near line 1 column 1

error: help: `samin' not found
octave:1> path
Octave's search path contains the following directories:
.
/usr/local/share/octave/site-m
/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12
/usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/miscellaneous-1.0.9/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v37
/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/miscellaneous-1.0.9
/usr/lib/octave/3.2.4/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu
/usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m
.....etc.......
$ ls /usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2
/usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12
$ ls /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/samin*
/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/samin_example.m
$ $ ls /usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/*/samin*
/usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/i486-pc-linux-gnu-api-v37/samin.oct
Comparing octave-optim with octave-miscellaneous, octave has path entries for
both the m files in share and the oct files in lib
for miscellaneous, but for octave-optim, only the m files in share are
specified and the oct file directory in lib is missing.
octave:2 >
addpath('/usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/i486-pc-linux-gnu-api-v37')
octave:3> samin()
error: samin: you must supply 3 arguments
Adding '/usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/optim-1.0.12/i486-pc-linux-gnu-
api-v37' to the path fixes the problem (temporarily).
Somehow, the package isn't registering the directory with the oct files
in octave properly?
