If you have downloaded the tarball then you don't need to fetch it over the web with the '-forge' option.

You're probably also better off doing this interactively.


octave --no-window-system
pkg install symbolic-2.6.0.tar.gz


Note, you do not need to untar the source, nor should you be in the source directory when executing the commands.

I am trying to install Octave-Symbolic in my Redhat6 Environment and getting the below error:

+ octave --no-window-system --eval 'pkg install -forge symbolic'
error: support for URL transfers was disabled when Octave was built

The tar ball was downloaded from "https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/releases/download/v2.6.0/symbolic-2.6.0.tar.gz".

The above command was run inside the source after untaring it.
Did I miss anything here?
