Given the error I think 
-either-:
the io package wasn't properly loaded
-or-
the io package installation is borked.

First try:

pkg rebuild

If that doesn't help, try this command in the command window:

cd (strrep (which ("oct2xls"), "oct2xls.m", "private"))

and in the browser pane, then try to locate the file __chk_java_sprt__.m

If it's there you can do the following

addpath (pwd)

and then go back to the subdir your file lives and try again to read it.

But I suspect a reinstallation (first uninstall, restart Octave, maybe do
"pkg rebuild", then install) of the io package might be needed.
