Created attachment 361272 [details, diff] g-octave-0.4.1-fix-Makefile.patch g-octave uses a Makefile from upstream in its g-octave.eclass for the installation of the packages. What happens is that *.oct file are installed in wrong locations which are not automatically included by pkg("load", "auto") during octave startup. The result is that a package using an external *.oct will not work correctly. The problem is located in the Makefile which contains an error. I have already reported in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39045 but upstream is not interested in fixing it because no package uses anymore that file. As g-octave is using that file I strongly suggest to include a fix in portage. The proposed patch here attached is quite simple and it would solve problems like the one reported in #454632.
