I never wrote num2cell for 2.1.x and so I don't think it will compile. 
But if you are worried about typo's and cut-and-paste errors, I commited 
it briefly to octave-forge and so its in the CVS Attic at

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/octave/octave-forge/main/cell/Attic/num2cell.cc?rev=1.6&view=auto

Maybe if you replace "octave_idx_type" with "int" it might compile on 
2.1.x though I haven't tried. Note the code is in C++ and must be 
compiled with "mkoctfile num2cell.cc" before being used..

Regards
David
