Assuming it is really just bug #45243, yes

Can this report be closed?  Is (was) it a problem with an octave forge package, the build system, or what?  Is it still an issue?

Once you have installed the io package from the octave-forge website (pkg install -forge io  like JohnD wrote),
- restart Octave, and type the following commands:
- pkg load io
- more off
- chk_spreadsheet_support ("", 3)
## (That's two consecutive double quotes,
##  two consecutive single quotes is OK as well)

You'll get quite a bit of diagnostic output that may help solve io package problems.
Type:
help chk_spreadsheet_support
for an explanation of input parameters and output etc.

Hi,

Build package will display a number of warnings, but in itself looks like it doesnt have a problem.

The version of io in the installer was broken, so for starters, you will probally need to uninstall the io package and then install it from octave forge. [1]

> pkg install -forge io


Also, when using java the type of java used matters (686 vx x86_64).

Which machine type of java do you have installed?

I installed Octave 4.0.0 after installing the most recent version of Java. After installation was complete, Octave opened. I then followed the instructions on how to build the packages:
- changed the directory to the src subdirectory of Octave
- opened build_packages.m
- clicked on Run, then Save File and Run in the Run menu
- the script ran, but I got a lot of warning messages
- after the script ran, I tried to load the financial package
- I got an error message (see below)

>> pkg load financial

warning: (Automatic loading of spreadsheet I/O Java classlibs failed)

I am running Windows 7 / 64 bit

The output in the Command window is attached
