That's correct, my 'sizemax' returns 2**63 - 2.

That's correct, your 'sizemax' returns 2**31 - 2.

No, not necessarily. These are both valid and correct answers, the value
depends on the version of Octave and how it was configured.
You initially asked what the symbol "x86_64" means, and I suggested
looking at the return value of 'sizemax' to additionally determine the
range of indexing. I was guessing at what you meant by the qualifier
"fully".
Are you now asking how to install a version of Octave that supports
arrays with 64 bit indexes? Are you sure that you need that?
