I'm using OpenSUSE 12.3. I just found another help topic that suggested I
look at whether gcc-g++ was installed. I checked and it turns out it wasn't.
I installed the gcc-g++ package and now I get a different error when trying
to install the general package:

octave:2> pkg install general-1.3.2.tar.gz

I don't even know where to begin decoding this issue...

Thanks for your help
