Ok, the package is install, just not loaded.. What happens when you quit
and restart Octave? Is the package available? Are you running as a user
or as root?  In any case I can't duplicate this under 3.0.0 on my machine..

David

this is what I do in the above test. hilbert.m is
not loaded after a quit/restart of Octave.

as a simple user.
is there anything I can do to understand what happens ?

Ok, missed that.. Then it is clear that the package has not been flagged
as autoloaded at all. The signal package is autoloaded by default and so
not using the "-auto" flag should work for what you want.

Look in ~/octave/signal-1.0.5 for a file .autoload that should be
created by the install process. I can duplicate this issue and so can't
really suggest a solution. As a temporary fix

touch ~/octave/signal-1.0.5/.autoload

should get the issue fixed at least for this package..

If you really want to try and debug this issue at about line 720 in
Octave 3.0.0's version of pkg.m you'll find the code

  for i = length (descriptions):-1:1
    if (autoload > 0 || (autoload == 0 && isautoload (descriptions(i))))
      fclose (fopen (fullfile (descriptions{i}.dir, "packinfo",
                   ".autoload"), "wt"));
      descriptions{i}.autoload = 1;
    endif
  endfor

insert a keyboard statement just inside the for-loop and see what the
values of autoload, descriptions(i), isautoload (descriptions(i)) and
descriptions{i}.autoload  are..

Regards
David

Octave calls "pkg load auto" on start up..

Take a look at ~/.octaverc

If you have an editor setup to run

        edit ~/.octaverc

mine doesn't. the bug is thus in the script that calls "pkg load auto".

~$ octave -q

It appears that debian modifies the octaverc file. Check in

<PREFIX>/share/octave/3.0.0/m/startup/octaverc

mine contains...

## This appears here instead of in the pkg/PKG_ADD file so that --norc
## will also skip automatic loading of packages.

pkg ("load", "auto");
