It looks like you are running Octave 4.4.0 that you have installed in
/usr/local, is that right? Does /usr/local/bin/mkoctfile-4.4.0 exist?

Octave looks for the mkoctfile executable to exist at exactly

  fullfile (__octave_config_info__ ('bindir'), ['mkoctfile-', version])

ans = /usr/local/bin/mkoctfile-5.0.0
