Re: pkg install

[Thomas D. Dean]

I have created a very simple package that demonstrates my problem.

> ls -R my-package|cat
my-package:
 COPYING
 DESCRIPTION
 inst

my-package/inst:
 funcs1
 funcs2

my-package/inst/funcs1:
 func1_do1.m
 func1_do2.m
 func1_do3.m

my-package/inst/funcs2:
 func2_do1.m
 func2_do2.m
 func2_do3.m

> cat inst/funcs2/func2_do2.m
function [] = func2_do2()
  printf("This is the do2 file\n")
endfunction

## all of the funcx_dox.m files are the same except for the name and
## do1, do2, do3.

How do I get pkg install to recognize it needs another layer added to 
the path?
