Re: Newer Versions of Octave Struggle with Character Strings

[evansste]

Thanks everyone.  The .octaverc issue has now been solved, thanks to your
mention of the race condition.  I'm not using the GUI, but this solved my
issue all the same.

Before compiling Octave 4.2.1, I never uninstalled my old version of Octave
(Octave 4.0.2).  I've always typed "octave-cli" in order to start Octave. 
After installing 4.2.1, the "octave-cli" command would still start 4.0.2. 
So I've now changed my .bash_aliases file to contain the following line:

alias octave-cli="/opt/octave4/bin/octave -p /home/evansste/octdir --no-gui"

This was based on Mike's suggestion to use addpath, and it seems to be
working well.

Thanks again for everyone's help.  This truly is a remarkable forum!
