After octave update I see two issues. 1. `help` command does not work. octave:1> help plot error: unable to open /usr/share/octave/3.8.2/etc/macros.texi for reading error: called from: error: /usr/share/octave/3.8.2/m/help/__makeinfo__.m at line 103, column 5 error: /usr/share/octave/3.8.2/m/help/help.m at line 99, column 22 2. `plot` command uses some another gnuplot terminal type, not as it was before with `x11` terminal type, and I am unable to find any way to chage it. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
1. is invalid, it works with the doc use flag. 2. is invalid, this is a new feature enabled by the X and opengl use flags: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-3.8.html ** Octave now uses OpenGL graphics by default with FLTK widgets. If OpenGL libraries or FLTK widgets are not available when Octave is built, gnuplot is used. You may also choose to use gnuplot for graphics by executing the command graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot") Adding this command to your ~/.octaverc file will set the default for each session.
