Hi all,
first I want to tell that I LOVE octave. It is my goto language to solve
mathematical problems. I use it a lot on large arrays and parallel processing
is a must for me.

In 7.3.0 I had the num_processors error which was solved with a simple patch
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62349). See attached install file. The
parallel tools worked fine on 7.3.0 on macOS.

Now that I update to 8.2.0, the build failed.   Markus Mützel (
https://savannah.gnu.org/users/mmuetzel) solved the problem by proposing
editing two files in the octave include directory
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bc681594872a

With this fix, the pkg installs ( eval( "pkg install -verbose
~/Downloads/parallel-4.0.1patched.tar.gz" )) but then the pkg test fails (see
below).
It seems that octave-pserver is called when it should not be present on macOS.

Also, should the pserver be called when running on a local machine and not a
remote server ?

Thank you all for helping resolving this issue.
