Hello again,
In the last week since I asked my basic question about how to install optim on a Mac using MacPorts (sudo port install octave-optim), I had to reinstall my operating system. This broke MacPorts, so I had to uninstall MacPorts and reinstall it. Now I am trying to reinstall octave, including the optim package. However, it seems to be choking on installation of the general package. Here's the error message I'm getting:
bash-3.2$ sudo port install octave-optim
---> Computing dependencies for octave-optim
---> Dependencies to be installed: octave-miscellaneous octave-general octave-struct
---> Configuring octave-general
Error: org.macports.configure for port octave-general returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install octave-general
Please see the log file for port octave-general for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave-general/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: octave-miscellaneous octave-general octave-struct
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port octave-optim failed
Please do as the error asks and report this to Fink. If you don't want to file a bug report, then use their maillist

The alternative suggested,
--
pkg install optim-1.3.1.tar.gz
isn't working, possibly because I only get a tar file from hg, not a tar.gz file. It produces what looks like a mess of binary output in octave.
The file optim-1.3.1.tar.gz downloads loads on my mac. Perhaps your's is unzipping it. Did you try ...
pkg install optim-1.3.1.tar
I didn't quite follow the part about how to set $GCC and $LDFLAGS or how or why to install an older version of octave. I'm pretty sure I've installed the newest version since I just installed it. Would someone be willing to elaborate?
Some of the OctaveForge packages require a specific versions of Octave.
Before concluding you have the most recent version of Octave, please take the time to tell us what version you have installed.
