[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #66687 (group octave):

Homebrew provides "rpcgen" replacement as a part of "rpcsvc-proto" package.
With it, "instrument-control" installs fine:

...
  ../octave/api-v59/packages/instrument-control-0.9.4/writeread.m  pass    3/3
   [ 0.016s /  0.017s]

Fixed test scripts:

                                                        total time (CPU /
CLOCK)  [   0.6s /   20.3s]
Failure Summary:

                                                (expected failure) XFAIL   1

There may be a bug in "configure" script when it detects that "rpcgen" does
not support "-M" option, but still enables VXI11 protocol.
