[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57798] Insufficient instructions for build for linux

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #57798 (project octave):

Are you running octave from the build directory using make run (or
run-octave), or running the installed octave ?

If running from the built octave sources folder, I believe you can not install
package from there, you have to installed Octave using make install, and then
run the installed binary.

A quick look at the comments, and I didnt see where you explictly said what
version of Octave you are trying to build.

My guess though is that is is not 4.2.2 ? So the mkoctfile you are seeing via
command line is not the one a different version of Octave would be trying to
use.

Possible issue could be the same as I menioned in the first part of the
comment - you need to install octave and run the installed executable.
