communications 包依赖于 signal,optim,specfun,miscellaneous 四个包，所以下载这5个包

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/R2009-06-07/optim-1.0.6.tar.gz

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/R2009-06-07/signal-1.0.10.tar.gz

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/R2009-05-08/specfun-1.0.8.tar.gz

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/R2009-06-07/miscellaneous-1.0.9.tar.gz

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/R2009-06-07/communications-1.0.10.tar.gz

然后 $ echo "pkg install name*.tar.gz" | octave -q 依次装上各 tar.gz 包
