I am trying to run Octave on my old iBook running 10.3.9. I
downloaded and installed the binary from octave.sourceforge.net.
When I try to run it, I get the following message:
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave: line 74:
2757 Illegal instruction
OCTAVE_HOME="${OCTAVE_HOME}" PATH="${PATH}"
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" CC="${CC}"
CXX="${CXX}" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS}" FFLAGS="${FFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" DL_LDFLAGS="${DL_LDFLAGS}" SED="$SED"
"${ROOT}/bin/octave-3.0.0" "$@"
I get a similar message when I tried to install 3.0.1 as well.
I successfully installed Octave on my desktop machine running 10.4.11
without incident.
