Hi, I may have not understood what you are trying to do, but in the latest version of Octave you ca install directly from forge using the command octave> pkg -forge install <package-name>
Where <package-name> is the package you want to install You can get a list of the packages with octave> pkg -forge list And your local versions octave>pkg list If you want to install a compresse dpackage you downloaded you do octave> pkg install <fullpath-to-package> Hope this helps -- M.
