[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46718] Unable to create classes

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #46718 (project octave):

I know that this bug report is quite old, but I tripped on it today (January
2023) and maybe my experience can help someone else.

As said, the constructor function must have the same name of the class and
must belong to a directory whose name is the class name prefixed by '@' (e.g.,
'@polynomial/polynomial.m').

In my case the error was caused by the fact that I added the '@'-directory to
the path.  The '@' directory must be in a directory in the search path list,
but it **must not** be in the path list itself. 

To clarify: if you added the directory '@polynomial' in `~/my-octave-lib` you
must do 

addpath ~/my-octave-lib 

but NOT  

addpath ~/my-octave-lib/@polynomial
