No, it means the package has not been loaded yet. The default setting for most packages has been recently changed to Autoload: no The link that Carnë sent in his email explains why having too many "autoload" packages is not a good idea. >From the output you showed, openmpi_ext seems to have been installed correctly on your system, you just need to load it. To this end do: pkg load openmpi_ext to test whether it works correctly, set the environment variables NUMBER_OF_MPI_NODES and HOSTFILE before running Octave and then do: pkg load openmpi_ext demo helloworld Thanks again for your feedback.
