This what I got 

octave:2> mark_as_command("pkg")
octave:3> pkg install -verbose io-1.0.5.tar.gz
error: `pkg' undefined near line 3 column 1

I checked in "share/octave/3.0.1/m/pkg" and found pkg.m, as well as PKG_ADD
which contains this line:
mark_as_command pkg

I tried to rebuild it, so I did make distclean, and typed
./configure --prefix=/myinstalldir/

I think configure works fine. It gives me this

and then I typed "make" and it seems ok. it gives me this

---------
Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/kurniawano/Download/NumericalComputation/Octave/octave-3.0.1'

and if I typed "make check" it gives me

------------
Summary:

  PASS   3721
  FAIL      2

There were 3 expected failures (see fntests.log for details).

Expected failures are known bugs. Please help improve
Octave by contributing fixes for them.

There were 175 skipped tests (see fntest.log for details).
Skipped tests are features that are disabled in this version
of Octave as the needed libraries were not present when Octave
was built

1508 (of 1671) files have no tests.  Please help improve Octave by
contributing tests for these files (see the list in the file fntests.log).

And I couldn't find any error also after make install. But I still have the
same error.
