OK, now I'm stuck again. I installed the package but apparently I need to run octave-config in order to set up some environment variables. But they're not getting set:

Code:

-bash-3.00$ cd /usr/local/bin
-bash-3.00$ ls
mkoctfile             octave-2.1.73         octave-config
mkoctfile-2.1.73      octave-bug            octave-config-2.1.73
octave                octave-bug-2.1.73
-bash-3.00$ sh octave-config
usage: octave-config [options]
-bash-3.00$ more octave-config
#! /bin/sh -
#
# octave-config - reports some configuration values for Octave
