I see:

octave:5> test @sym/intersect
***** test
 % empty input
 A = sym([1 2]);
 C = intersect(A, []);
 assert (isequal (C, sym([])))
!!!!! test failed
assert (isequal (C, sym ({}))) failed
octave:6> A = sym([1 2])
A = (sym) [1  2]  (1×2 matrix)
octave:7> C = intersect(A, [])
C = (sym) []  (empty 1×0 matrix)
octave:8> sym([])
ans = (sym) []  (empty 0×0 matrix)

Hi @dasergatskov ,
I think this test failing was fixed in #1311
Thank You!

Thanks. "make test" on git pull passed, but I cannot install it. After "make dist":

octave:1> pkg install -verbose ./symbolic-3.2.1+.tar.gz 
mkdir (/var/folders/ds/5xsh6x4914x78jswflyz20c40000gn/T/oct-YDETJd)

OK. I figured that out. My "tar" is BSD tar. My GNU tar is "gtar".

Then I used TAR=gtar make dist
and now it works.

@dasergatskov ,

Thanks for the update and for identifying the issue with the tar command.
Given the modification you made to the Makefile to work with BSD tar and the fact that using gtar seems to resolve the issue for you, would you suggest that this change be incorporated into the repository? Specifically, should we create a pull request to update the Makefile to support both BSD tar and GNU tar, or do you think this adjustment is not required for the main codebase?
Looking forward to your input, Thank You.

[dasergatskov]

I think make this change in the main code-base is a good idea.
