This sounds like a packaging problem to me, not an Octave bug. The OP says the GUI can be run, just that there's no launcher installed (at least that's the way it reads to me). Is there anything Octave can do in "make install" to set up a Mac OS launcher? Tentatively closing because this sounds out of scope for Octave, it's up to the ports or installer maintainer.

If you mean the executable file called octave-gui, then you are not supposed to run that file directly in any case.

Instead, run Octave with the option --force-gui:


octave --force-gui

Installed Octave on Mac OS X Mavericks.  Octave CLI appears as an available app in launchpad, but not Octave GUI.  I can launch it by going into applications, it's available there, but not in Launchpad
