Hi Phil: Thanks for your test report. Actually, I am testing octave 3.6.2 here with no issues. So your octave version is (slightly) later, and I think Andrew has tested even a later octave version with no issues so I doubt the issue is your octave version. However, it might easily be a swig version issue. I am using 2.0.7 successfully here. What version of swig are you using there? The reason I ask is we know there are some historical swig versions that are just plain incompatible with octave. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
