Ok, the reason you see this error message is because you have installed octave into a path which contains spaces. Please install into a path without spaces, and you should be able to run the pkg manager. I'm not sure I'd call it a bug, but at the moment it's like this: If you install octave into a path that contains spaces, then octave will run fine, but you will not be able to install packages using the package manager. There is a problem in passing various options to the configure script, because the quoting does not work right now as expected. Not sure how and if and when this will be fixed, so for the moment the solution is: Install Octave into a path *without* spaces. I'll modify the installer for 3.2.x to have a new default installation path and issue a noticable warning if the user choses otherwise, and update the readme files. benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
