 Yes,  I did a re-install from scratch and "freqz" is in the "signal"
 subdirectory.

 A follow on question, though.  Is this signal subdirectory just a "base"
 or is it supposed to be the current signal package?  If it is the current
 signal package it is missing many functions.  What lead me to this was
 that I was trying to install the REMEZ function and installed signal-1.2.0
 directly from the octave console.  That's when I started having problems.

 So, I interpret that: (1) you hand-installed the signal-1.2.0 package from
 inside Octave, which resulted in the FREQZ function disappearing;  and (2)
 reinstalling octave-devel restored the FREQZ function correctly.  Hence,
 this really is not the issue of octave-devel.  Hence, I'm closing this
 ticket; we can continue discussing on the email list if/as you want.

 I really know very little about octave packages.  So, maybe what octave
 provides is sort of "base" and you're supposed to install a signal package
 to get "full". Or, maybe that package is out of date with respect to what
 the current octave release provides.  As I use Octave for just simple
 things, without adding in packages of any type, and I never have, I'm
 really not qualified to answer the question.  Sorry.
