# 
# 
# I'm trying to install Octave on our system from
# the binary distribution.  Octave appears to
# run OK, but the directory structure I want to
# use is slightly different from what "doinstall.sh" produces.
# 
# How do I tell Octave where to look for the info
# files for the command "help -i <topic>"?
# 
# Also, the directories
# 	lib/octave/1.1.1/exec/host_type

This should have the octtopnm binary (required by the image display routines).

# 	lib/octave/1.1.1/imagelib

This should have the default image for display, default.img

Both of these could be found in

lib/octave/1.1.1/m/image 

directory. If not check the source code distribution. The octtopnm binary will have
to compiled from the c file which should be in lib/octave/1.1.1/m/image.
