Details:

pkg install seems to require a texinfo file which is only installed when
--enable-docs is given to configure.

output:

octave:1> pkg install -forge general
unable to open /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/etc/macros.texi for reading
error: called from '__makeinfo__' in file
/usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/help/__makeinfo__.m near line 103, 
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/pkg/private/install.m at line 240, column
5
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 394, column 9


after rebuilding octave with --enable-docs (enabling the doc useflag on
gentoo) it works as expected:

octave:1> pkg install -forge general
For information about changes from previous versions of the general package,
run 'news general'.
