[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47346] after install octave seg faults during startup with --debug option

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #44, bug #47346 (project octave):

If the uninstall target is not working correctly then we should try to fix
it.

But in any case, I always recommend using something like


--prefix=$HOME/octave/4.1.0+


Adjust the directory as needed, but the point is to put all files below an
otherwise completely empty directory tree.  This way, you can just do


rm -rf $HOME/octave/4.1.0+


to delete everything, even if the build system has changed significantly.  The
uninstall target can only be expected to work if you have exactly the same
sources as when you last installed.  Maybe you deleted them, or maybe you
updated to a newer version and the set of installed files has changed.
