emacs info reader for octave

[Aditya Bhagwat]

Dear all,

I am trying to use the Emacs Info Reader for Octave. First, I installed
gnuserv, that seemed to work fine. Then, I added following lines to my
.emacs file:

 (autoload 'octave-help "octave-hlp" nil t)
     (require 'gnuserv)
     (gnuserv-start)

as was suggested in the octave online manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Using-the-Emacs-Info-Reader-for-Octave.html#Using-the-Emacs-Info-Reader-for-Octave

Now, I am getting the following error message when emacs starts

    An error has occurred while loading `/home/abhagwat/.emacs':
    File error: Cannot open load file, gnuserv


Does anyone know the reason for this?

Many thanks and regards,

Aditya

Apparantly, gnuserv wasn't installed properly. After installing it
through synaptic package manager (ubuntu 9.04), this error disappeared.
However, a new error message is showing up now:
    Symbol's function definition is void: temp-directory

Does anyone have help for this?

Regards and many thanks,

Aditya

Where did you install gnuserv?  Is it in a directory that is listed in
your Emacs load-path?
