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" ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
