Try the "-verbose" flag to pkg.. In any case I suspect the issue can be
addressed with the attached patch, that I needed to build the
octave-forge website. If you need this patch it probably means that the
audio package probably doesn't help you much in any case...

So you have the ginac package installed, bur octave-forge isn't find it.
I suspect you are missing the pkg-config function that is used by the m4
macro and the libtool installation of ginac to determine the appropriate
flags for the ginac install..
