I agree with Geraint, with the following caveat: If you are using the fink
version of octave, you should probably also use the fink octave-forge
because of where things install (/sw). The fink octave-forge must be built
from source with "fink install octave-forge." There are some other packages
(ghostscipt, etc.) that must be installed too, but the installer usually
tells you about that.
