Yes. Install and load the version 2.0.0 of the image package.
im2double() did not exist before that version.

That's because rgb2ind does not return a valid colormap, it just takes
the RGB values and returns them without scaling them to values on that
interval. This is not a problem when images are of class double
(images of class double should have only values between 0 and 1).

Dividing by 255 only works when an image if of uint8 class only. It
will fail for everything else. It's the job of im2double() to do it.
