Issue with installing Octave 4.0.0 toolboxes

[Prasad K]

Downloaded octave 4.0.0.tar.gz installed it manually and i am able to open
and run some simple commands. When i try to install toolboxes it gives the
below error. 

online method: 
/pkg install -forge struct 
error: support for url transfers was disabled when Octave was built 
error: called from 
    get_forge_pkg at line 40 column 14 
    get_forge_download at line 26 column 12 
    pkg at line 393 column 29/ 

Then i searched Octave forum for possible cause and some threads suggested
to install /libcurl/ library that i already had and up-to-date. In another
thread download and install toolboxes locally so i tried install struct
toolbox got the below error. 

offline method: 
/pkg install struct-1.0.14.tar.gz 
unable to open /usr/local/share/octave/4.0.0/etc/macros.texi for reading 
error: called from '__makeinfo__' in file 
/usr/local/share/octave/4.0.0/m/help/__makeinfo__.m near line 103, column 5/ 

Please help thank you
