[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53841] Could not copy help collection to temporary file. Cannot load sqlite database driver!

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #53841 (project octave):

Figure out why Octave can't copy the help files and fix it, I guess.

One scenario is that the help files don't exist where they are supposed to. 
It looks like on my system the help files are located somewhere like


linux # ls /usr/local/share/octave/4.5.0+/doc/ -l
total 4888
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4994048 Mar 30 15:26 octave_interpreter.qch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    8192 Mar 30 15:26 octave_interpreter.qhc


Of course, you would have a "4.4.0" rather than 4.5.0+.

A second scenario is that the temporary directory /tmp is not accessible to
you for some reason.  It looks as though it is only the octave_interpreter.qhc
file that gets copied:


linux # ls /tmp -l
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 sebald sebald 8192 May  5 00:41 oct-qhelp-5mbeqh


Notice the matching file size of 8192.
