[OS X] Fwd: octave-forge bug report: round() and H5 symbols

[Andy Jacobson]

Octave-forge is a very comprehensive set of extensions for octave to  
mimic many of the Matlab toolbox functions.  I had some trouble  
installing it, because there's no octave-forge in fink's stable  
directory, but the octave in fink unstable won't build for me.  Corey  
Halpin, fink maintainer of octave-forge, sent me the following  
instructions.  They worked.

To learn about octave-forge, see octave.sourceforge.net
