This was a bug related to installations of Octave that do not include the
“optim” toolbox. It was fixed in the development version on GitHub in this
commit
<https://github.com/MATPOWER/matpower/commit/ca9c69dd642a131003fa6d64d1700a3c1c9bd0a6>
shortly after the release of MATPOWER 6.0. The easiest solution is probably
just to use the current version on GitHub
<https://github.com/MATPOWER/matpower>. The other option would be to manually
apply the change from that commit directly to have_fcn.m.
