You are probably doing nothing wrong. But your report is much too vague. There's a chance the package in question has been upgraded, or perhaps has even been created for octave-3.4.x and won't compile (anymore) with octave-3.2.4. We need info on: - What Octave version (I suppose octave-3.2.4 for MingW from sourceforge) - What packages - exactly reproduced error messages, plus a bit of context in the form of 5-10 lines before the actual error message. Try to install the package with: pkg install -verbose <package.tar.gz> and copy relevant messages into email. If the package maintainer doesn't pick up quick enough (we're all volunteers), be prepared to do some debugging yourself (probably aided by this forum to help you steer in the right direction).
