What I meant is the following lines in "octave.conf" installed from
from
"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/octave/octave_3.6.4-3.debian.tar.gz":
suffix = "/octave/packages";
pkg ("prefix", sprintf ("%s%s", octave_config_info ("datadir"), suffix),
sprintf ("%s%s", octave_config_info ("libdir"), suffix));
clear suffix;
this automatically switches the installation prefix to system directories that
are not accessible
to normal users, therefore by default only superuser may install packages.
I don't understand why this is necessary.
