That was the info I needed.
Now, 

1. What operating system do you run?
2. What version of Octave do you have?
:
Oh... but I do know, from your first post:

"error: called from 'verify_directory' in file
C:\octave\octave-4.0.0\share\octave\4.0.0\m\pkg\private\verify_directory.m"

==> You're out of luck there, octave-4.0.0 for Windows wasn't built with
gdal.

Get the installer for Octave-4.0.1 here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/octave-4.0.1-installer.exe

and install that; that one has GDAL.
