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

Are you sure about that ? Because in run-octave I can see :

    OCTAVE_BINDIR="$builddir/src"

Doesn't it mean that octave_config_info ("bindir") should return

    /media/data/sources/octave/core/src

(this is what getenv ('OCTAVE_BINDIR') returns) ?

Otherwise, what is the point of this line in run-octave ?
