Re: mkoctfile - Communications Package

[Magalhães]

Hi,

 

I got the octave2.9.13 from Sourceforge but the communications package doesn't work. When I type "pkg list" it appear as installed in "..\share\octave\packages\communications-1.0.2" but when I try to load the package it says that this directory was not found (and it really doesn't exists). That's why I have tried to re-install the package

 

(and the octave has found the C compiler, I have got another error before, but then I have installed gcc, it has found the compiler but still doesnt work... and I also have the MVStudio installed... )
