Octave package install

[Morgan Hough]

Hi fedora-scitech-sig,

I am testing some of the scitech packages and just wanted to know what was
expected behavior. If I install Octave should I then be able to install
octave packages from octave-forge? I am trying to install dicom with "pkg
install -forge dicom" and I receive the error message:

pkg: unable to find the mkoctfile command, Octave installation is incomplete

Is there an additional package I should install via dnf to use octave's
internal package install mechanism, is there additional environment
configuration to do or is this just not supported at this time which is
fine. Thanks in advance for your time.

Cheers,

-Morgan
