Package Install Errors

Hi -

I'm trying to install a few packages under 3.2.0.  Some of the packages install fine, others give me an error like this one from the Linear Algebra Toolbox:

>> pkg install linear-algebra-1.0.8.tar.gz
couldn't create installation directory /usr/lib/octave/packages/3.2/linear-algebra-1.0.8 : Permission denied
error: called from `pkg>copy_files' in file /usr/share/octave/3.2.0/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1473, column 13
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.0/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 756, column 5
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.0/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 287, column 7

Again, I have installed some packages without problems, so I don't think it's an issue of permissions.  Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know what needs to change?  Thanks.

-Ron
