Installation of control pkg fails with octave 3.7.2+

[Torsten]

The installation of the control package fails under the newest version
of the development branch. I get this with a fresh build and install of
octave (with and without gui):

octave:3> pkg install -global -auto control-2.4.2.tar.gz
parse error near line 48 of file
/usr/local/share/octave/packages/control-2.4.2/test_control.m

  syntax error

>>> test @lti/c2d
         ^
error: called from 'gen_doc_cache>create_cache' in file
/usr/local/share/octave/3.7.2+/m/help/gen_doc_cache.m near line 101,
column 19

Installation of the odepkg fails, too:

octave:6> pkg install -global -auto odepkg-0.8.4.tar.gz
make: *** No rule to make target `2>', needed by `octave-3.7.2+'.  Stop.
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory

Anyone else having problems installing packages?
