I now tried on Debian Lenny, 64 bit which did not work out of the box.
After installing fits libs, I get the following output:
octave:3> pkg install fits.tar.gz
Package cfitsio was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cfitsio.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cfitsio' found
Package cfitsio was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cfitsio.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cfitsio' found

I think this is related to the Debian package not containing the library
. Replacing
MKOCT_FLAGS = $(shell pkg-config --libs cfitsio) with
MKOCT_FLAGS = -lcfitsio
in src/Makefile makes it run on debian.

I attach the modified package. Can someone else test it? (or provide a
more general solution to the mkoctflags problem)
