Thanks for your bug report. Octave 3.2.4 is a very old version. It may be that this does not work in that release, but it is not worth looking into and it will not be updated.

Can you please try the more recent Octave 3.8.2 (http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/) and open a new bug report if the same thing happens with that version? Thanks.

Hello.

I have recently installed Octave version 3.2.4. on Windows 8, 64 bit laptop.

My 'help' function is not working in Octave. Whenever I try to find help for a particular function, it gives an error. For example, I tried:

help plot or help pinv

The same error occurred in both the commands:

"error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined

error: called from:

error: C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\3.2.4\m\help__makeinfo__.m at line 148, column 7

error: C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\3.2.4\m\help\help.m at line 62, column 25  "

I uninstalled the program and installed it again. Still the same problem persists.
Moreover the path command also doesn't do anything.

Please find attached snapshots.
