First, let me observe that MacPorts 2.4 seems to be a really nice release: I got a whole lot of stuff installed on a "new" OS X 10.8.5 system with no issues at all. Kudos to all who made this happen.
I did run into a problem trying to install octave. One of its dependencies is qscintilla, and that one does not want to install. I am attaching the log file as I have not been able to figure out what is going wrong here. Tried installing scintilla by itself, no joy either. If this turns out to be a fatal issue as far as scintilla is concerned, is there any way to build octave without it? OS X 10.8.5, MacPorts 2.4, Thanks for any help, Uli
