Hi Robin,

Welcome to the mailing list.
As a quick check. Can you try to install the dev version of the
geometry package?
You can get the tar.gz from here
http://users.elis.ugent.be/~jcarbaja/misc/geometry-1.7.0.tar.gz

To install it, go to the folder where you downloaded the file and run
octave. Once in the octave prompt run

   pkg install geometry-1.7.0.tar.gz

Probably you will still get the warnings. The package installs and
works fine, I just got to fix the warning...
If it compiles we will need to make a new release of geometry.
