Re: "pkg" command not found

[Brian Kaczynski]

I am using Octave 2.1.57.  Which brings me to a second question --

I started the procedure to install Octave 3.2.3 but I'm running into 
problems where it seems I need to install a new version of gcc and 
possibly make as well, and who knows what else.  Is there an earlier 
version of Octave that has the "pkg" feature but won't lead me down a 
bottomless rabbit hole of updates to software that I really don't want 
to update?

Thanks,
-Brian
