[ksjak]

Hi All

I am trying to install package communication-1.2.1 with octave 5.1.0.  got
below error,

I have tried the solution Kai recommended a year back,

  $ wget
https://octave.sourceforge.io/download.php?package=communications-1.2.1.tar.gz
-O communications-1.2.1.tar.gz
  $ tar -xf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz 
  $ rm communications-1.2.1.tar.gz
  $ cd communications-1.2.1/
  $ patch -p1 < ../octave-4.4-all.patch
  $ cd ..
  $ tar -zcf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz communications-1.2.1
  $ rm -R communications-1.2.1

but that not helped.

then found,

 $ hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/communications
octave-communications
 $ cd octave-communications
 $ hg patch ../octave-4.4-all.patch
 $ make all
 $ make install
 
here i am not sure on how to do this, since i am downlaoding the tar ball of
each package and compiling it...

can anyone please help me here?

Thanks
ksjak
