I don't know what "trends" you are talking about or what you mean by
"sudo-linux system".

Did you install Octave, or were you trying to build packages when
running Octave in the build directory with the ./run-octave script?
If you installed Octave, then the mkoctfile script corresponding to the
version of Octave that you built and installed should have also been
installed in the same directory as the octave binary. And then the pkg
command should have found that mkoctfile script.
If you tried to build a package with mkoctfile when running Octave from
the build tree with the ./run-octave script, then that is not currently
expected to work.
