Expected behavior, the mex, mkoctfile, and pkg install commands all
require you to have done a "make install" of Octave before using them.

If you haven't done "make install", I believe also running mkoctfile
from the shell will also fail, because it will try to link mex or oct
files against Octave libraries in the install path.

Using ./run-octave is really just for running tests and making sure
the build worked, it isn't expected to be a fully functional Octave
working environment.

HTH,
