Julio,

Octave 3.4.3, financial 0.3.2
octave:2> rate(30, 510.19, 10000)
error: @pv (x, 30, 510.19, 0, "e") - 10000: no function and no method found
error: called from:
error:   /usr/local/share/octave/3.4.3-rc0/m/optimization/fsolve.m at
line 149, column 9
error:   /home/juanpi/octave/financial-0.3.2/rate.m at line 69, column 5

You may want to move forward in the version of Octave. If you are in
32bits you can try out this binaries, they were successfully tested
many times by now.
