Ah, I forgot to remove that line from the Makefile.

You can fix it by uncompressing the tar file, edit the Makefile in the src folder, remove all actrecord stuff, and recomress it again. I will fix this tomorrow.

/Fredrik Fredrik,

After removing all references to actrecord, I got:

octave:1> pkg install /home/miguel/Sources/aaudio-0.2.0.tar.gz warning: load_path: /home/miguel/octave/aaudio-0.2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v45+: No such file or directory /home/miguel/octave/aaudio-0.2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v45+/aplayrec.oct: failed to load: /home/miguel/octave/aaudio-0.2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v45+/aplayrec.oct: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_sw_params_set_start_threshold error: called from `gen_doc_cache>create_cache' in file /usr/share/octave/3.4.2/m/help/gen_doc_cache.m near line 93, column 17 error: called from: error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.2/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 832, column 5 error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.2/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 361, column 9 octave:1>

If I try to run a command I get:
