Hi John,
See the output below. I've downloaded 2.9.14 version source files from
the website. To be sure that I'm running 2.9.14 version, I've tried running the
binary octave-2.9.14 from the command prompt. However, the startup message
prints the version to be 2.1.50 and when I try "which version", again, it is
referring to files installed by the sysadmin on the system. I've seen the source
code and see that OCTAVE_VERSION is built-in variable and I've expected that it
should at least return correct value, but, even it returns 2.1.50.
Do you think, there was mistake during the installation ?
Thanks,
Rajkiran
