This however does not solve the fact that I couldn't use the packages. They are, however, fairly easy to install manually. Just download the packages you want from http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php and then from the octave prompt run
Code:
pkg install package_file_name.tar.gz
some packages may have other packages as dependencies but they should be listed in the package details page.
