Thanks for the bug report. Is there a specific bug with Octave related to this problem? It sounds like it's either a question you are trying to get help with, or possibly a bug with the Fedora packaging of Octave. If so, both of these are out of scope for this bug tracker. You might want to use one of the support channels, such as the mailing list or IRC channel, see http://www.octave.org/support.

I think many users and developers are able to use Octave and install packages on Fedora, so marking as working. If you can find that there is something specific not working that needs to be fixed in Octave, feel free to comment or reopen this issue.

I work on Fedora 23, I installed octave from command using:
"$ suso dnf install octave"
Octave was installed and I cam open it without problem, but when I try to install packages througnt "pkg install "name of package" I got this error:

>> pkg install control-3.0.0.tar.gz

pkg: unable to find the mkoctfile command, Octave installation is incomplete
error: called from '__gripe_missing_component__' in file /usr/share/octave/4.0.1/m/help/__gripe_missing_component__.m near line 53, column 3

I check and this file is installed in my pc:

>> fullfile (octave_config_info.bindir, sprintf ("mkoctfile-%s", OCTAVE_VERSION))

ans = /usr/bin/mkoctfile-4.0.1

I do not have much knowing in linux, Can anybody helpme
