You don't say the type of computer that you are using. You should consider
installing the entire octave-forge library for future use. Many times a
routine calls other routines, and it is not a simple matter of installing
one routine.  Depending on your computer, there are several ways of
downloading and installing the entire octave-forge library of routines.
