  • Ticket #57850 – Description

    initial v9  
    11When launching the Octave.app GUI, a message window pops up with the following error message:
    22
     3{{{
    34  Could not copy help collection to temporary file. Search capabilities may be affected. Cannot create index tables in file /opt/local/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qhc
     5}}}
    46
    57After clicking on OK, the Octave GUI opens. Octave primary functions seem to work without problem except for the {{{doc}}} function (which was hinted by the error message). Asking, e.g., for the documentation of the {{{deg2rad}}} function will only display two empty panes in the tab "Documentation" instead of the requested page from the online version of the manual. Related may be that the menu entry {{{Help->Documentation->On Disk}}} is not working as expected -- only the two empty panes from the Documentation tab are shown.{{{Help->Documentation->Online}}} opens the Octave manual from http://octave.org in a web browser.
