Please keep the conversation on-list and post your replies on the bottom of the message. That makes it easier for others to follow. Thanks. GNU Make doesn't have an Octave package. You might install it through MacPorts or whatever you use. It might be called gmake. I don't have a Mac so I don't really know how to do it. hth, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
