problem with ppval

[Mazyar Zeinali]

Hello all,

I am using octave version 2.1.42 under windows installed from binaries 
downloaded from Paul Söderlind (http://www.hhs.se/personal/Psoderlind/) 
page.  I am trying to use the mmspder function to perform cubic spline 
differentiation.  I'm having some problems.  I've broken it down to a 
problem with ppval.  So i am using an example in the Mastering Matlab 
5  book (isbn 0-13-858366-8) page 214.  Here is the run (also, how do I 
output the workspace erro messages to a fine in windows??):

>> x=0:12;
>> y=tan(pi*x/25);
>> xi=linspace(0,12);
>> pp=spline(x,y);
>> yi=ppval(pp,xi);
error: 'lookup' undefined near line 35 column 11
error: evaluating binary operator '+' near line 35, column 36
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 35, column 9
error: evaluating if command near line 29, column 3
error: called from 'ppval in file '/usr/share/octave/2.1.42/m/splines/ppval.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 28, column 3
