Hello,

I think you might have inadvertently downloaded "parallel octave" from 
its home URL at tohoku.ac, instead of MPITB from ugr.es, since MPITB has 
no send.cc file

Google code finds that sentence in poctave-0.0.4, at line 109

I think poctave was designed for an older Octave release, and the Octave 
API has changed since then. According to

I think the link points to the 0.0.4 version you are using. It seems to 
match the API for Octave-2.1.44, back in 2003.
