Thanks for confirming.

By the way it is not only the mkoctfile binary, but Octave's header files and libraries that are expected to be installed in a particular directory when you call mkoctfile.

Closing as invalid.

Ok, then the error message looks correct to me, you have not finished installing Octave properly.

How did you build and install Octave? Did you run the "make install" step? Are you trying to use Octave out of the build directory with the "run-octave" script and trying to install packages?
