Yes, you really need a 'tar' program, I'm sorry that I don't know where you get 
one, mine was always there in the OS as '/usr/bin/tar'

Note: Please don't mix startups of different Octave.apps 2.9.14..2.9.17. The 
pkg command has been changed and the `archprefix' (I think) was there for the 
first time in Octave.app 2.9.15.

I recall a very useful message from Soren here:' The structure of the octave 
package database has changed since 2.9.14. To fix this startup messages you 
have to delete the package database located in ~/.octave_packages'. Then don't 
startup Octave.app 2.9.14 anymore.

Yes ok, as described before.

Please delete the spaces between 'PATH = ' in your ARmake.inc and try again. It 
should look like 'PATH=/App...'.
