Octave Problem with Mac OS X

[Fitzgerald Barry]

Hello,

 

My daughter installed Octave on her Mac Book Pro and it does not seem to work. Each time she enters anything, it returns "syntax error". I then installed Octave on my Windows PC and she was able to enter same data and was able to plot it with no problem. Are there known issues associated with Mac OS X? Downloaded versions and URL from which they were downloaded are shown below.

 

The version my daughter installed on her Mac Book Pro appeared on the website http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/ and was the first link at the top of the webpage named 2011-04-21 binary of Octave 3.4.0 and does not seem to work.

 

The version I installed on my Windows PC appeared on the website http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.4.3%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20Installer/ and was the first link at the top of the webpage named Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2-install.exe

 

Please HELP.

 

Thank you.
