Thank you Philip. Here is the information you asked for:
- Octave version 3.2.4 (built with MinGW compiler) installed with Windows Installer
- Packages that do not install:
database-1.0.4
fl-core-1.0.0
nan-2.4.4
octproj-1.0.2
openmpi_ext-1.0.2
parallel-2.0.5
- Packages that did install (other than the ones included in the Installer):
ad-1.0.6
dataframe-0.8.2
fuzzy-logic-toolkit-0.2.2
multicore-0.2.15
octclip-1.0.0
tsa-4.1.1
vrml-1.0.11
- I have attached an Octave diary file that echoes all of the errors I get
for the packages that did not install. I can the error message explicitly
in email if the diary file doesn't work.
Thank you again for your help. Clay Fulcher clay.w.fulc...@gmail.com-----Original Message----- From: Philip Nienhuis

Greetings, I just installed Octave and several Octave-Forge packages using the Octave Windows Installer. There are several packages listed on the Octave-Forge site that did not appear in the Windows Installer. I downloaded some of these additional packages and tried unsuccessfully to install them using “pkg install filename.tar.gz”. Errors like “ ‘curr_sym_tab’ was not declared in this scope” are typical. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
You are probably doing nothing wrong. But your report is much too vague. There's a chance the package in question has been upgraded, or perhaps has even been created for octave-3.4.x and won't compile (anymore) with octave-3.2.4. We need info on: - What Octave version (I suppose octave-3.2.4 for MingW from sourceforge) - What packages - exactly reproduced error messages, plus a bit of context in the form of 5-10 lines before the actual error message. Try to install the package with: pkg install -verbose <package.tar.gz> and copy relevant messages into email. If the package maintainer doesn't pick up quick enough (we're all volunteers), be prepared to do some debugging yourself (probably aided by this forum to help you steer in the right direction).Philip
