Hi Philip,

I tried your hints:
address@hidden:/home/rose(3)$ octave
GNU Octave, version 3.6.1
...
octave:1> which cell2csv
octave:2> which csv2cell
octave:3> which waitbar
`waitbar' is a function from the
file /usr/share/octave/3.6.1/m/plot/waitbar.m
octave:4> which csvexplode
octave:5> which csvconcat
octave:6> which partarray
octave:7> which xmlread

But I have the same results at my other systems, where leasqr works:
address@hidden:/home/rose/Txt/src/Test/Octave(12)# octave

...

Path shows the miscellaneous package (miscellaneous-1.0.11):

Then I deinstalled miscellaneous and reinstalled it again with the tools
of Gentoo (emerge -vD miscellaneous). It tells me that it is installing
in the following directories:

octave commands will install into the following directories:
   m-files:   /usr/share/octave/3.6.1/site/m/octave-forge

oct-files: /usr/lib64/octave/3.6.1/site/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge
   binaries:  /usr/libexec/octave/3.6.1/site/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
alternatives:

oct-files: 
/usr/lib64/octave/3.6.1/site/octave-forge-alternatives/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu


But after this reinstallation of miscellaneous 'source leasqr_test_2.m'
fails with exactly the same error. So I deinstalled miscellaneous again
and installed it again with 'pkg install -forge -verbose miscellaneous'
inside octave:

octave:1> pkg install -forge -verbose miscellaneous

For information about changes from previous versions of the
miscellaneous package, run 'news ("miscellaneous")'.

octave:2> source leasqr_test_2.m
error: `cell2cell' undefined near line 69 column 17
error: called from:

So nothing has changed for leasqr_test_2.m.

Further ideas are appreciated.
