I have managed to solve my problem. The problem is that I previously
installed Octave 3.0.0 in a non-standard directory and so I set OCTAVE_HOME
to my Octave 3.0.0 installation directory.

When I installed Octave 3.0.1, it successfully built. And when I ran

./run-octave

from the installation directory I can get some result when typing "pkg". But
after I did a make install, the same error occurs.

The cause of the problem is that I didn't set my OCTAVE_HOME to the new
installation directory. After I set this variable to the new installation
directory, it works fine.

Thanks.
