This can be closed: expint in core and expint(1+j*4) works.

This is an Octave Forge issue rather than an Octave issue. The mailing list to report Octave Forge problems is octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net. They have been added to the CC list for this bug and it is being closed on the Octave bug tracker.

expint is not an Octave core function. It comes from the Octave-Forge package specfun. You might have better luck checking the Octave-Forge bug reporting site.

When I call expint with real argument it works fine. However when I call it with complex arguments, the first and second time it gives error messages. The third time it gives the correct answer. Is this a known bug?
The calls and the responses from OCTAVE 3.2.4 are listed below.
---------------------------------------------------
octave:3> expint(4)
ans = 0.0037794
octave:4> expint(1+j*4)
error: The argument must be real.
error: feval: function `print_usage' not found
error: called from:
error: C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\packages\specfun-1.0.8\expint.m at line 30, column 4
octave:5> expint(1+j*4)
error: The argument must be real.
error: feval: function `print_usage' not found
error: called from:

octave:6> expint(1+j*4)
ans = 0.033736 + 0.073523i
