Dear David I saw the web page: http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.html
However, there is no the list of financial package. So I extracted the packages Name: financial Version: .1 Date: 2007-02-02 Author: Bill Denney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maintainer: Bill Denney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Title: Financial Description: Financial manipulation and plotting functions Categories: Financial Depends: octave (>= 3.0.0) Autoload: yes License: GPL version 2 or later Url: http://octave.sf.net So I accessed svn trees, found your correction, corrected the file 'DESCRIPTION' and file name financial-0.1.0.tar.gz and suceeded to build it. The file 'DESCRIPTION' : Version: .1 => Version: 0.1.0 Thanks!
