I would like to confirm

Did you installed both Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_20130408.7z and 
Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20130402.7z?

The install directory can be selected arbitrarily so that your directory 
structure has no problem.

In my case, the corresponding directory structure is 
C:\octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\lib\octave\packages\sockets-1.0.8 
(\i686-pc-mingw32-api-v48+)
and
C:\octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\packages\sockets-1.0.8 (\packinfo)


As I mentioned it is not necessarily adjust absolute path.
pkd rebuild command can work the relative directory structure is kept.
