How to use Forge Packages

[Chaman Singh Verma]

Hello,

I have installed Octave using Ubuntu package manager and now would like to
install
additional packages.

octave:3> pkg install arpack-1.0.6.tar.gz
configure: WARNING: no mkoctfile found on path
./configure: line 2751: ./conftest.cc: Permission denied
configure: error: Could not run
error: the configure script returned the following error: checking for
gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for mkoctfile... no
error: called from `pkg:configure_make' in file
/usr/share/octave/3.0.1/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1232, column 2

Where is mkoctfile created ? Is it a different package that I need to
install ?
