That looks as though it might help.
I tried to install and ended up with errors, as follows...

octave:2> pkg install -forge io

I am running Octave 3.6.3 on Fedora 17 x86_64, and installed from the  
Fedora repositories.
The io pkg isn't available on the Fedora repos, hence the install directly  
from octave-forge.
It isn't clear to me what the problem is with the io install.
When I look in /home/terry/octave I find io-1.0.14, which makes the  
reference to io-1.0.20 a bit confusing.
Perhaps it didn't actually install anything.
I'll have another try.

Anyone have any ideas?
