I would say "is not meant to work" instead of "doesn't work". Please do not send a patch to have pkg search the Octave path.

The Octave path is to search for functions and classes. Everything else should require a filepath. I still find it odd that load searches the path, and that there's an extra path IMAGE_PATH for imread only.

Right, this was also asked on the mailing list recently. The load path only works for data files (e.g. load) or function files. Doesn't work for fopen or imread or pkg install.

Use

to get the full path to the file, or

to do it all in one command.

You must specify the path for the file. You must not just use the filename and add it somewhere on the path. cd to where you have the file, specify the path to it, or move the file to your current working directory (use pwd).

I am a grad student and I just had Octave 4.0 installed in my computer. I am trying to use lsode to solve a system of stiff differential equations. I already used 'stiff' option to solve but did not get the right solution. So I downloaded odepkg-0.8.5.tar.gz and tried to install but I kept get the message "file odepkg-0.8.5.tar.gz does not exist" back. I have also used exist(filename) and it returned value of 2. I don't understand why the software could not find the package.

P.S: I did put the package file in the place where I already created the path for Octave accessing to.

Thanks,
Vu
