Hi David,

I can't reproduce the problem - here is what I see on a i386 10.4.x MacOSX system:

   octave-3.2.0:1> pkg install -verbose multicore-0.2.15.tar.gz
   mkdir (/var/tmp/oct-ieH2sJ)
   untar (multicore-0.2.15.tar.gz, /var/tmp/oct-ieH2sJ)
   mkoctfile --mex existfile.c
   copyfile /var/tmp/oct-ieH2sJ/multicore-0.2.15/src/existfile.mex
   /var/tmp/oct-ieH2sJ/multicore-0.2.15/inst/i386-apple-darwin8.11.1-api-v37
   octave-3.2.0:2> pkg list
   Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
   --------------+---------+-----------------------
      multicore *|  0.2.15 | .../Resources/share/octave/packages/multicore-0.2.15

Can you try to use the '-verbose' flag - maybe we can just see something else 
that is going wrong?
