The transfer fuction comes from the octave-crontrol package which, since it is not packaged by Fedora, must have been installed by you, perhaps in a location where octave 3.6.3 does not look at?  What does "pkg list" show?

Comment 2 Caner Çuhac 2012-10-12 21:31:02 UTC
By "pkg list" if you mean which octave packages are installed, I used command:

$ rpm -qa | grep octave

octave-3.6.1-2.fc17.i686
octave-symbolic-1.1.0-2.fc17.i686
octave-control-2.2.4-2.fc17.i686

It seems that octave-control is packaged by Fedora. I did not do external installation.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2012-10-12 21:39:04 UTC
My bad.  Looks like a newer octave-control is needed.  Thomas - I'll let you handle that if you would.  Thanks.
