[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62847] addpath fails to process network pathnames

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #62847 (project octave):

Last comment for now, I really have to get work done ... :-)

7.1.0 works OK, so I suppose 6.1.90 works as well. If you insist I'll give it
a try later on.

>> Did you `cd` to the folder on the mapped drive Q: that contains
`opt_lvm.m`, and `which` still returned the UNC path? 
Yep, see comment #7
>> Was that folder also in the load path (maybe using the UNC path)? 
AFAICS, no. It was all done w/o the 'workaround' mentioned in comment #2, even
w/o the script that adds the pertinent network subdirs to the path.
>> Does `canonicalize_file_name ('Q:\full\path\to\opt_lvm.m')` return the full
path (without "eating" part of it)?
>From which location, local drive (= outside path) or network subdir (in the
path)? and what do you mean exactly with 'full path' and which part might have
been 'eaten'?

Thx for your insistence :-)
