[octave ] LOADPATH recurses only one level of subdirectories


Your attachments don't seem to be available, so I am not able to see the
structure of your test.

However, a test of my own indicates the functionality does work.  What I do is
create a file called .octaverc in my own home directory, with the contents

++++++++
LOADPATH=[LOADPATH,':~/.octave//];
++++++++

I then add my own private octave functions to the directory tree under
~/.octave.  I tested that adding a new m-file more than one level down does
make it available when octave is restarted, forcing the path to be
re-traversed.

Please realize that normally the LOADPATH is only recursed once, at the time
octave is loaded.  If you put new functions out there, you need to force octave
to re-read the path.  There may be other ways to do it, but the easiest is to
exit and restart.

This is unlikely to be a cygwin packaging issue.  You will likely receive more
help at help@octave.org.
