Hi,

The reason why the homebrew maintainers decided to disable the GUI may be (is probably) due to a bug in Octave, but the information you provide won't help us identify such bug.

Can you provide useful information or should I close this report?

After installing octave 4.2.1 wiht homebrew, the --force-gui switch has no effect; the CLI version is started without the GUI.

Perhaps this is because of the "this formula has no --with-gui option so it will be ignored!" error while installing:


#brew reinstall octave --with-gui
==> Reinstalling octave
Warning: octave: this formula has no --with-gui option so it will be ignored!
