Octave: Can't start GUI after installing from homebrew I installed octave using homebrew. 

When I call 

octave --force-gui


I get error:


  octave: GUI features missing or disabled in this build


Q: How to make it work in GUI mode?

I also tried 

brew reinstall octave --with-qt --with-fltk --with-gui


like it was suggested in this post, but it didn't help.

Here is some debug information:

I had same problem and asked same question. I answered it myself. Remove homebrew version of Octave. Install MacPorts version of Octave. MacPorts is a package manager like Homebrew. Their version of Octave works fine. Instructions for installing MacPorts and Octave are given at MacPorts home page.
