Not at all?
I haven't switched over to 10.3 yet, but I did an install of octave
2.1.50 on a freshly installed 10.3 using IBM's xlf fortran compiler. No
problems with the install, but I haven't done any real testing.
(Only gotcha with xlf is that it needs -qextname added to FFLAGS)
I don't know about fink, but there seems to have been a flurry of
updates/releases recently so maybe updating definitions etc. will help?
Can any fink experts explain
why system-xfree86 doesn't provide x11?
system-xfree86 should IIRC be a placeholder for a manually (or default)
installed X11. Clueless.
Gnuplot works fine with Apple's x11,
even with term x11.
I don't have x11sdk.pkg available which the X11 FAQ claims
will fix the problem.
This pkg will provide headers and stuff, probably necessary...
I tried building a dummy x11 package which provides x11, but
I'm not savvy enough to get equivs to build, never mind rolling my own
package from
scratch.
I second the suggestion to try DarwinPorts
<http://darwinports.opendarwin.org> which btw does not state x11 as a
dependency for octave. It also builds standard OS X binary,
self-contained installers from pkg descriptions (or should, I'm not
sure of the present state, been away for a while).
Hope this helps,
