I noted the below commit on the upstream development repository. Could
I trouble people with the problematic emacsen to check if the library
file "octave" is available, even though "octave-mod" is not?
If so rather than disabling expand-region entirely for the problematic
emacsen, or adding a little hack to skip compiling that particular file,
or even adding a guard to skip files that encounter compilation errors
instead of failing the install, I would be tempted to fix the root
problem by including the below patch.
In doing so, it would seem reasonable to make an upstream-snapshot
release which includes this in addition to other upstream bug fixes and
enhancements, rather than picking the one commit.
