I'd like to try out the vrml functions in octave-forge.  However, I keep 
encountering syntax errors, even though the code itself looks fine to 
me.  For example:

octave:1> test_vmesh
test_vmesh :
Display a surface.
parse error near line 114 of file 
/usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/m/octave-forge/vrml/vmesh.m

   syntax error

 >>> lpos = [min (x2) - 1.1*scl* max (max(x2)-min(x2), 1),
                                                        ^

error: `vmesh' undefined near line 14 column 1
error: near line 14 of file 
`/usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/m/octave-forge/vrml/test_vmesh.m'


I can fix a few of these by adding and removing spaces in the m-file, 
but I can't fix them all.  Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
Jonathan
