Re: Hash function doesn't work

[evansste]

Thanks for your response, Kire Pudsje.

I'm running Octave 3.8.1.  As far as I know, it's the latest version that
can be installed on Lubuntu 14.04.3 using ppa.

I received an E-mail about this, also.  Allen suggested that I try the
following:

pkg install  -forge io

then

pkg load io

I think my Octave version is too old for these commands to work, since I get
an error when running the first command.  After a little online searching, I
found the following shell command instead:

sudo apt-get install octave-io

This command ran, however, towards the end of all of the things it printed
on the screen, I saw a lot of "404 Not Found" and "E: Failed to fetch
http://..."; messages.  So when I shut down Octave, and restarted it, I
wasn't surprised to learn that it still wasn't working.

At least I seem to have a better idea of what the problem is.  I may not
have the io package installed because of my older version of Octave.  I did
a quick search about upgrading Octave, but from what I can tell, I would
probably have to uninstall, and then reinstall the latest version from
source.  I may give that a shot, if worse comes to worst.  However, I rarely
have successful installations when installing from source.  I'd much rather
find out how to install the io package.

Thanks for the response.  I'll keep looking into installing the io package,
for now.  If you, or anyone else, has any other ideas, I'd love to hear
them.  Thanks.
