From help-request at octave dot org Sat Dec 31 13:13:58 2005 Subject: Re: gnuplot with octave From: marius173 at mchsi dot com To: Anand Gaurav Cc: help at octave dot org Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2005 19:12:32 +0000 Anand, David Collett's instructions are somewhat out of date. What does ls -l /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.72/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin8.3.0/octave-forge say? Please update octave-2.1.72-1-osx3.tar.gz to octave-2.1.72-2-osx3.tar.gz and install gcc-3.4.5-1- osx4.tar.gz from hmug.org. IIRC, octave-2.1.72-1-osx3.tar.gz was built with g95 which I no longer support.
