Re: manually installing packages

[Jürgen]

>>pkg install -forge communications

leaves me with the error message (how to modify URL, which URL?)

error: get_forge_pkg: could not read URL, please verify internet connection
error: called from
    get_forge_pkg at line 66 column 7
    get_forge_download at line 26 column 12
    pkg at line 382 column 29

>>pkg install communications-.tar.gz

results in the error message

pkg: error running `make' for the communications package.
error: called from
    configure_make at line 95 column 9
    install at line 192 column 7
    pkg at line 394 column 9

Installing some other packages (signal, control, general, io) was ok.


Both the zip and exe installers come with the communications package,
among others.  For the zip package you need to type 'pkg rebuild'
after installing so Octave can see all of the pre-installed packages.
