Thanks. That seems to fix the configuration problem.

It doesn't work with 2.9.5 either. The problem appears to be that "which 
ov-netcdf" does not give the path to ov-netcdf.oct as expected. As far 
as I can tell, this appears to be due to the presence of the "-" 
character, which seems to be confusing the octave parser. I don't know 
if this is intended behavior in octave or not, but you could work around 
it by renaming ov-netcdf.oct to ov_netcdf.oct (and making the 
appriopriate changes to all the other things that link to it).
