octave-devel @3.6.4 bash looks for octave in /Applications

[hsafer@…]

Hi,

Installing Octave @3.2.4 failed as described in ticket #38694. I followed the advice given there: I uninstalled octave and then installed octave-devel @3.6.4. The installation worked fine. When I type /opt/local/bin/octave it works as expected; when I type just octave, however, I get the error

-bash: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave: No such file or directory

even though which octave says that /opt/local/bin/octave is what bash will look for first. The /Applications directory does not have a copy of octave. I haven't found this or a similar error addressed in the trac system. Any suggestions how to get bash to look for the right version?

I am running OSX 10.8.3 Mountain Lion with Xcode 4.6.1.

Thanks, Hershel

Did you try in a new Terminal window?

I closed and re-opened the Terminal application, and got the same error.

Apologies, my mistake. My .bashrc file, which I brought over from a different computer to us on my new computer, has an alias to what was once a version of Octave that was installed in /Applications. Sorry to bother you with this. Hershel
