Maybe I'm using the wrong repo or something, but I was unable to install 
the parallel package.  I am using the sources found here

  http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/parallel

at HG ID

I executed make dist in the top-level directory to generate 
target/parallel-3.1.3.tar.gz.  Attempting to install that with Octave 
5.1.0, I see the errors in the attached log file.

Can you post exactly how you are building these package?

I can't be sure until I can try to run some tests, but looking at the 
sources for the parallel package, I suspect the problem is due to code 
that is attempting to cope with various changes in Octave internals 
related to error handling and that the code in the package is not doing 
the right thing now.
