Although the posters initial problem should be solved by installing mkoctfile (see link to FAQ) I've added the maintainer
Alois Schloegl to CC.

@Alois, do you think its feasible to edit the Makefile (or use GNU autotools) to omit the warnings (see below) for missing MATLAB files?

I think these could consternate users even though TSA is installed successfully.

Regards, Andy

This is a FAQ:
http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#I_cannot_install_a_package._Octave_complains_about_a_missing_mkoctfile.

but I must admit that the warnings

are a little bit misleading when building with Octave.

Hello all,

When trying to install TSA 4.2.7 on my Octave 3.6.4 (and Ubuntu 13.04) I get the following error.
