Re: Problems installing Octave on osx 10.6.8

Hello Ben,

I will try the develop port.

Regarding the wiki (http://wiki.octave.org/Installing_MacOS_X_Bundle) I might have got confused but here's the part I read:
"

NOTE: The following instructions are for the Gnuplot in the 'Extras' folder, which DOES NOT WORK, due to some library version issues. Instead you could install a Gnuplot binary fromhttp://www.miscdebris.net/upload/gnuplot-4.2.5-i386.dmg. Or you could try using MacPorts to install Gnuplot.

Look in the 'Extras' folder and find the gnuplot-4.4.3-aqua-i386.dmg disc image. Double-click this dmg to mount the gnuplot disk image.

"
Which is a bit ambiguous. Do I install 4.2.5 or 4.4.3 ? I've noticed that 4.4.3 comes with the octave dmg so I assumed I must use the 4.2.5 dmg which doesn't.

Thank you,
George

We recommend you try MacPorts, Fink, or Homebrew.

MacPorts does not have an Octave version that is current.  However, the octave-devel port is version 3.4.3, which is more current that the bundle you've tried to install.
