I, personally, am not a big fun of those "containerized solutions". Nevertheless I just tried flatpak version of octave:


$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

$ flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave

$ flatpak run org.octave.Octave --gui


And it looks fine at first sight. I installed a few packages

and run some of my tests (in addition to the build-in _run_test_suite_). Still not perfect, but perhaps it would work
for you. Flathup also seems to have a more active support community at    https://discourse.flathub.org/

It looks to me the issue is with snap-specific packaging.
I am on Centos 9 Stream (and used to be on Centos 8x)
and "native" installation works fine.

You may try to contact snap developers at:
https://github.com/octave-snap/octave-snap/issues

or post message on octave discourse at:

https://octave.discourse.group/latest

may be somebody else had and solve the same.

Dimitri:

I've attached two log files to show the installation differences.  The first file is when I install "statistics".   The second is from the installation of "control".   I'm using Octave as the same user and just wanted you to have a level comparison.

I'm thinking the package installer is probably working correctly on MAC and Windows machines (or this would have been called out already).  I'm using Oracle Linux Server (which is on par for all applications I've used with RHEL, CentOS, and Rocky).

[paganonic@rldevws07 etc]$ cat os-release

Hope this helps....   (See Attached Files for more details on the installations)

Dimitri:

Yes I installed Octave via snap.   Using the -verbose parameter, I see the following information:

octave:8> pkg install -verbose -forge control
warning: creating installation directory /snap/octave/306/share/octave/packages
warning: called from
    install at line 36 column 5
    pkg at line 603 column 9

error: could not create installation directory: Read-only file system
error: called from
    install at line 39 column 7
    pkg at line 603 column 9


The directories when searhed looked like permissions were good, but I'm looking to see if this is a mount condition problem.  Just to be clear, I have installed IO and Statsitics Packages using:

 > pkg install -verbose -forge io
 > pkg install -verbose -forge statistics

These worked fine...

During installation of the Control 3.4.0 package I encountered an error indicating that the "./configure" script could not execute due to permission denied.

>> pkg install "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/control-3.4.0.tar.gz"

sh: 1: ./configure: Permission denied

error: pkg: error running the configure script for control
error: called from
    configure_make at line 101 column 9
    install at line 202 column 7
    pkg at line 603 column 9


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
