That "codequoteundirected" stuff is because octave is running against a
too-old version of Texinfo. Even though you have a new-enough Texinfo
installed via Homebrew, that version is not on the $PATH by default,
because Homebrew's policy is to avoid shadowing system-provided
packages. So octave doesn't see it.

To make Octave use the newer Texinfo, either add it to your path before
running octave, like this:

PATH="$(brew --prefix texinfo)/bin:$PATH"
octave

Or modify your octave install to use it all the time by adding this to
the /usr/local/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc file for your octave
installation (replace /usr/local with wherever you actually installed
octave):

makeinfo_program ("/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin/makeinfo");

(There, replace "/usr/local/opt/texinfo" with whatever your "brew
--prefix texinfo" actually is.)

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks, I'll do that.
