[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63933] Fail of parallel-4.0.1 installation on Ubuntu 22.04 - Octave 8.1.0

[Juliano Mota]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63933 (project octave):

I did the same thing as you and got exactly the same output. Except mine is
not redhat-linux.


error:
/home/juliano/.var/app/org.octave.Octave/data/octave/api-v58/packages/parallel-4.0.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v58/parallel_interface.oct:
failed to load
Incompatible version or missing dependency?
/home/juliano/.var/app/org.octave.Octave/data/octave/api-v58/packages/parallel-4.0.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v58/parallel_interface.oct:
undefined symbol: octave_completion_matches_called

The error message is pretty clear "parallel_interface.oct" fails to load
because there is an 'undefined symbol: octave_completion_matches_called'.

We now is not a missing dependency of octave, because 'parallel' only depends
on 'octave>=4.0.0', 'struct>=1.0.1.2' and 'pkg' itself.

As a layman my guess is that either is some linux dependency or it's an
incompatible version of that octave api.
