Re: Octave Geometry package problem

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi everybody,

I have published a new release candidate of geometry. The new package
for sure wont have this issues as its structure was simplified.
The package too look for now is matgeom[1], I checked that it is not
producing those errors in my installation, but any double check will
be appreciated.
