Re: Installed MacPorts 2.2.1, now to install Octave dependencies
I just pushed the octave update https://trac.macports.org/changeset/114034 . I've checked building and loading under 10.8 and 10.9, so hopefully the transition will be reasonably smooth. - MLD ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
Installed MacPorts 2.2.1, now to install Octave dependencies
I have installed the MacPorts 2.2.1 package and am interested in installing Octave and its dependencies. I thought I saw somewhere that Octave installs these dependencies automatically but that might have been an error. I have downloaded Octave 3.4.6 in a folder in my /users directory and am attempting to run it on Mavericks which I have heard has has a lot of issues with compatibility. The folders/files that I have in my /users directory are: 'man3-has files like LAPACK, BLAS,etc, 'ports' which has a 'devel' folder among many others, a 'Portfile.txt' that contains octave 3.2.4, also a 'readline', a 'gcc48', 'llvm-gcc48', gawk, and a 'math-BSD-atlas' set of Portfiles among others which I could acquire. I also have the 'octave 3.4.6' folder that contains many files and folders for installation, make, run, etc. I also have a 'general' folder and files, an 'audio' folder and files and a Portfile.txt file for DSDP. I believe that some combination of these files or file types must be installed, compiled, built and run to use Octave from the command line or from Xcode which I use regularly. Any suggestions on how to bring these tools together to use Octave would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the octave port is for version 3.2.x which is old and has some problems, including not working on Mavericks: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41211 The octave-devel port is for version 3.6.x and is better; this should be used for now, if possible. This will be changed soon so that the octave port is for version 3.6.x.
