The reason you see this error message is because you have installed
octave into a path which contains spaces.
Please install into a path without spaces, and you should be able to run
the pkg manager.
I'm not sure I'd call it a bug, but at the moment it's like this:
If you install octave into a path that contains spaces, then octave will
run fine, but you will not be able to install packages using the package
manager.
There is a problem in passing various options to the configure script,
because the quoting does not work right now as expected.
Not sure how and if and when this will be fixed, so for the moment the
solution is:
Install Octave into a path *without* spaces.
I'll modify the installer for 3.2.x to have a new default installation
path and issue a noticable warning if the user choses otherwise, and
update the readme files.
