Hello all,

I had exactly the same error on debian/sid and it seems to be a jogl 
path problem. Here's the relevant error message:

octave:2> pkg -verbose install jhandles-0.3.3.tar.gz
...
octave-forge is configured with
   octave:      octave (version 3.0.1)
   mkoctfile:   mkoctfile for Octave 1
   java:        Can not find jogl.jar
   octave.jar:  /home/stluk/octave/java-1.2.4/octave.jar
   jogl.jar:    jogl.jar
...

In debian, jogl.jar (and gluegen-rt.jar) is installed under 
/usr/share/java. I tried setting CLASSPATH but it does not seem to help. 
How can I ask pkg to locate the jar files?

Regards,
ST
