First you need to install the executables. I assume you are running linux.
Inside the extracted TISEAN 3.0.1 sources, do:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`
make
make install

All the functions will now be in `pwd`/bin

Now you have to fix the .gnu scripts. For example c1.gnu should be
edited to point to ../bin/<function>
See the modified c1.gnu here http://agora.octave.org/snippet/ugYF/

After this all should run smoothly.

All the functions have example data and the package provide function
to generate the data, e.g. henon.

Good, some of the data generation functions, like henon, do not need
to be ported since they are trivially implemented as m-files. Maybe
you want to start there. Please also ask the maintainer of the TSA
package to decide how to deal with these additions (I would go with
subpackages as bim and geometry). If you can report periodically so I
can help/support you.

Definitely the objective would be to integrate them in the Octave API.
Check the control package to see how a complicated FORTRAN library was
integrated to the API.

sorry for the delay and cheers!
