[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#324471: octave2.1-emacsen: problems if octave startup file contains cd()

[Pascal A. Dupuis]

Package: octave2.1-emacsen
Version: 2.1.69-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hello,

having a cd() in .octaverc leads to annoyances in octave-emacs buffer,
because subsequent cd() at octave prompt fails 
"cd: No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable"
until you perform a cd to some absolute location. The problem is to
resync the internal buffer idea of path after the .octaverc
invocation. The enclosed patch solves it.

Best regards

Pascal Dupuis
