I want to install the GNU Octave optim package, but I keep receiving errors in the process. Apparently I need to install some other packages first, one of which is the general package. However, when I try to, I receive this error:

octave:17> pkg install general-1.3.2.tar.gz
make: /usr/bin/mkoctfile: Command not found
make: *** [__exit__.oct] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory `/tmp/oct-CGIPo9/general/src'
