    cannot install additional packages for octave 3.6.3

    hi
    i wanted to install a few packages ,integration ,symbolic and signal processing.i downloaded them from octave forge and tried to install by entering the command on octave but it showed some compiling errors.

    so i searched for it on synaptic manager.it had all the packages that could be found in octave-forge but when i clicked to download is instructed me to delete the new version 3.6.3 and install the old 3.2.4 version.

    i'm thinking of going back to the old one since i had it before and didn't find any difference with the new one.and because its easier to install the packages that way. but i hope if someone can help me install these packages on octave 3.6.3

    i can provide the error message later if required.

    thanks
