[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63780] [octave-forge] (control) Permission denied error running configure for Control 3.4.0

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #63780 (project octave):

I, personally, am not a big fun of those "containerized solutions".
Nevertheless I just tried flatpak version of octave:


$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

$ flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave

$ flatpak run org.octave.Octave --gui


And it looks fine at first sight. I installed a few packages

and run some of my tests (in addition to the build-in __run_test_suite__).
Still not perfect, but perhaps it would work 
for you. Flathup also seems to have a more active support community at   
https://discourse.flathub.org/
