OK. Built it with Qt5 and no problems. Can you mark it as closed?

Thanks,
Eric

It builds on Fedora 28 just fine once you installed all dependencies. Qt5 is recommended over Qt4.

On my stock fedora 28 it won't build with Qt5. configure exits with some Qt5 errors and I haven't really tried to figure out why since it builds just fine with Qt4.

Why with Qt4?

Octave gui will fail to start several times (sometimes 3-6 times). When it does start properly it seems to have no trouble from that point on. However, logging out and logging back in results in the same startup trouble. This doesn't happen with the  Octave 4.2.2 that is in the repository, but only with my build of 4.4.1. If I recall, this has happened before when I've built from source.

I have attached the output of "strace octave --gui" in an attachment.
