It appears your Octave m-file path is broken.  You can verify by typing "path" 
from Octave's command prompt (maybe it still points to the octave 3.6.2 
install?).

Check your ~/.octaverc to be sure it isn't setting your path that doesn't work.

You can try to restore Octave's default path to see if that fixes your problem.
