Error during octcdf install

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I tried to install the octcdf package from Octave forge. This is on
Ubuntu Linux 8.04 with the netcdf library installed. Here's what I did,
and what happened:

----------------------------
octave:2> pkg install octcdf-1.0.11.tar.gz

load_netcdf_type()’:

----------------------------

Any hints or ideas on what I did wrong?
