One strategy is using using octave-config:

	octave-config -p LOCALVEROCTFILEDIR

I prefer to use octave itself since I often have
multiple octave versions around:

     echo "disp(octave_config_info('localveroctfiledir'))" | $OCTAVE -qf

In octave-forge/configure.base I define a helper function:

	dnl Evaluate an expression in octave
	dnl
	dnl OCTAVE_EVAL(expr,var) -> var=expr
	dnl
	AC_DEFUN(OCTAVE_EVAL,
	[AC_MSG_CHECKING([for $1 in Octave])
	$2=`echo "disp($1)" | $OCTAVE -qf`
	AC_MSG_RESULT($$2)
	AC_SUBST($2)
	])

so I could do:

	OCTAVE_EVAL(octave_config_info('localveroctfiledir')),install_path)

[I don't because when I wrote the configure file octave did not yet have
localveroctfiledir available.]

Hope that helps,

	- Paul
