Since I ported Octave using MacPorts, I have been working through a
number of problems, which all seem to be related to the fact that
I had
installed octave, aquaterm and gnuplot previously from dmg
packages. I
previously wrote to both the MacPort and Octave users group about
these
problems and you all have been very helpful and I have learned a
lot from
you all. I started a new e-mail because I recently realized that the
problem may be with AquaTerm not GNUPLOT. I recently noticed that
there
are several AquaTerm.app on my hard drive and I don't know if this is
normal. These AquaTerm.app files are in the following.
1) /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app (only file in this directory)
/Applications/MacPorts is the normal location for MacPorts-
installed items
which install .app bundles, so this is normal.
2) /opt/local/var/macports/build/
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_aqua
_aq
uaterm/work/dstroot/Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app
This is the destroot inside the work dir, which is used during build.
Unless you had an install fail or turned of autoclean, this
shouldn't be
there. 'sudo port clean --work aquaterm' should get rid of it.
3) /opt/var/macports/software/aquaterm/1.0.1_0+darwin_8/Applications/
MacPorts/AquaTerm.app
This is the true install location when you have image mode
activated (which
allows for multiple versions of a port to be installed). Anything
under
/opt/local (and /Applications/MacPorts) is actually a hard link to
.../var/macports/software. So you can ignore stuff in this location
4) /opt/local/var/macports/build/
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_aqua
_aq
uaterm/work/aquaterm/build/deployment/AquaTerm.app
This is another build-related directory, see point 2 above.

Is this normal? Are some of these related to the build of Octave?
Thanks for this excellent explanation.
