According to octave.org <http://octave.org/>, Starting with version 4, the default behavior of the “octave” command has been changed to launch the GUI: https://octave.org/NEWS-4.0.html. Previous versions would launch in a terminal widow instead. When I invoke octave from LyX, an iconized window appears briefly and disappears on the Dock, which looks like a terminal icon but is titled “octave-gui”. So, it may indeed be worthwhile to change the command to "octave-cli” when calling from LyX (the file also exists on mac), or use one of the command-line options --no-window-system, -W, --no-gui, etc. Or perhaps Stephan’s idea is the right way to go about it. Unfortunately, I was unable to test how any of these affects the speed. I made the alias octave='octave-cli’ as well as with command-line options in my Z-shell but it did not change the behavior in LyX: the icon on the Dock is always titled “octave-gui” and alway takes a few seconds to appear and disappear before the answer is shown in LyX. If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to try and run a speed test. Best, Fatihcan -- lyx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
