Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look this evening to see whether there is 
another way to keep backward
compatibility without checking for version numbers. 

Before I spend time on this, why not just tell users of old versions of Octave 
to use a prior version of 
the package and instruct those who want the latest version to update to a newer 
Octave?

c.

P.S. I think there might be a typo in tis line of sockets.cc:

DEFUNX_DLD ( "AF_LOCAL", FAFL_OCAL, FSAF_LOCAL, args, nargout, "socket 
constant" )
{ error( "AF_LOCAL address family not supported on this platform" ); return 
octave_value(); };


shouldn't it be " FAF_LOCAL" rather than "FAFL_OCAL" ?
