Most distributions split Octave into several packages. The script mkoctfile is then part of a separate package:
You should normally use your distribution's packages. For Debian and Fedora, Octave package foo will be a deb or rpm called '''octave-foo''', and you should install that instead.
 
If you really need to build Octave packages from source to install them, you'll need mkoctfile. Most distributions split Octave into several packages. The script mkoctfile is then part of a separate package:


* Debian/Ubuntu: {{Codeline|octave-headers}} or {{Codeline|liboctave-dev}}
* Debian/Ubuntu: {{Codeline|octave-headers}} or {{Codeline|liboctave-dev}}
