Please keep the mailing list in the CC, so others may benefit from our
conversation as well and answer at the bottom of the email
(bottom-posting [1]) to facilitate our conversation.

Did you do exactly what is written in [2]?  You experienced any errors?
 Please send us the (important portion) of the output of

   pkg install -verbose communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

alongside with information about your system and Octave version.  Type

   ver

inside Octave.

Best,
Kai
