I am puzzled by this bug report. The path returned by pathdef() is used
only for finding *.m and *.oct files and not the executables in
/usr/lib/octave/<version>/exec/<arch>. BTW, the following works perfectly
for me:
$ sudo apt-get install emacs21 gnuserv octave2.9 octave2.9-info
$ emacs -eval "(gnuserv-start)" &
$ octave2.9
octave2.9:1> info_program ("info-emacs-info")
octave2.9:2> doc
I see then the info directory in my emacs frame. Does this work for you?
I may have misunderstood your problem. At any rate, I am tagging this bug
report "moreinfo", meaning that if we do not receive further informations in
a reasonable time frame I will close this bug report.
