Thanks much. I successfully obtained the development tools there, but
find that installation via the package managers is not a simple
process -- there seem to be a number of adjusments required here and
there, one of the package managers indicates that I need to know the
path to Xcode.app (which Finder can't find on my machine), etc. I
think I will need to spend some time getting to know the terminal side
of the Mac better to make this work.
Ironically, I was able to get the Windows port of Octave running fine
and drawing plots under Parallels on the Mac, which solves the
immediate need. But I do want to get it worked out the other way.
The full-disk encryption, incidentally, is not Apple. I'm told I'll
have to give up my Mac for at least a couple of days to have the data
decrypted, the Mavericks upgrade done, then data reencrypted. Thus why
I haven't upgraded yet.
