This looks like the package in question is using parts of the API from
more recent version. So, if you really want to make the package work
with your old Octave version, you'll have to change the package source
code.

I think you're better of either running a more recent version of Octave
(even if that includes a lot of updates to your system), or running the
old monolithic version of Octave-Forge.
