While trying to install an octave-forge package on my compiled
3.0.3, I got the following error:

octave.exe:10> pkg -verbose install io-1.0.7.tar.gz
mkdir (C:\DOCUME~1\Michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\oct-16)
untar (io-1.0.7.tar.gz, C:\DOCUME~1\Michael\LOCALS~1\Temp\oct-16)

I don't really have the time for debugging now, but I wanted to report
the error. Maybe someone can have a look.

Bye,
Michael.
