The dependency on Octave-4.0.0 is due to the inputParser class that has
changed in Octave 4.0.0.

You can install linear-algebra-2.2.2 at your own risk in earlier Octave
versions using "pkg -nodeps .......".  As long as you don't hit the
inputParser functions, chances are that it'll work fine.  Just give it a
try.

The dependency as listed on the website is wrong, sorry for that.  I think
I've already mentioned it to the octave-forge website maintainer some time
ago.
