Thanks for your answer. But after deleting a previous octave version, the odepkg installation worked well. Probably there was some conflict in my environment setting between 4.0.0 and 3.8.0 octave versions.

Thanks for your bug report. I think we'll need some more information about your Octave setup to determine if this is a bug or not (unable to reproduce here). How did you install Octave? Does it function normally aside from when you try to install the odepkg package?

The nargin function is a builtin, I don't see how installing a Forge package could affect that. I've only seen this error when Octave was miscompiled.

When I type
pkg install -forge odepkg
Octave gives

error: 'nargin' undefined near line 36 column 7
error: called from
    _unimplemented_ at line 36 column 3
    install at line 234 column 5
    pkg at line 405 column 9

And after that, every command that type for instance
help
Octave gives
error: 'nargin' undefined near line 36 column 7
error: called from
    _unimplemented_ at line 36 column 3
    help at line 48 column 3
error: scope not found!


And eventually I have to kill the application
Best
