__chk_java_sprt__.m is a "private" (~hidden) function and sometimes Octave
can't find private functions anymore when someone has fiddled around in the
private function files subdir.
In such a case "clear -f" sometimes helps, but restarting Octave should work
more reliably.

Could also be a borked io package installation.
Reinstalling Octave should fix that.
