More information:

I started command line octave.

octave:1> pkg install -verbose geographiclib-1.0.0.tar.gz
mkdir (/tmp/oct-eAeUf2)
untar (geographiclib-1.0.0.tar.gz, /tmp/oct-eAeUf2)

IN shell,

IN octave
octave:1> pkg install -verbose geographiclib-1.0.0.tar.gz
mkdir (/tmp/oct-IwOkYp)
untar (geographiclib-1.0.0.tar.gz, /tmp/oct-IwOkYp)


looks like octave did not complete or execute tar???????
