Problem installing packages

[agalli]

I am trying out Octave 3.6.1 under OS X 10.7.3 (installed via Homebrew).
When I try to install packages, most of the time the installation fails. For
example, when I try to install the Miscellaneous package, either after
downloading or directly from the website, i get the errors:


partarray.cc:42:31: error: variable length array of non-POD element type
      'Array<octave_idx_type>'
  Array<octave_idx_type> bidc [maxdims], eidc [maxdims];
                              ^
partarray.cc:42:47: error: variable length array of non-POD element type

                                              ^
2 errors generated.

Anybody here can help me pinpoint the cause?

Thanks in advance
