My prefix is "/usr/local/octave/HEAD-9fcbd5949271". The dialog complains
about
"/usr/local/octave/HEAD-9fcbd5949271/share/octave/4.5.0+/doc/octave_interpreter.qhc".
Neither the folder
"/usr/local/octave/HEAD-9fcbd5949271/share/octave/4.5.0+/doc" nor
"/usr/local/share/octave/4.5.0+/" exists. 
Even find /usr/local/ -name "/usr/*qhc" does not give any result.

I use homebrew which actually installs software in subfolders and then does
proper linking of directories. I will check if this is the cause for this
problem and whether I can fix it manually. However, I assume that Octave
guesses somewhere a directory which might be often correct but not in my
case.  

Thanks for helping
Sebastian
