Re: Octave & Mac OSX

[A Scottedward Hodel]

Did you also install:
- gnuplot
- Xdarwin?

Octave uses gnuplot for its plotting.  Gnuplot requires X (windows as
opposed to Mac OS X) to display.  I use the XDarwin package rather than the
fink X installation, mostly because I couldn't get the latter to work on my
iBook.

I haven't yet had time to try using mkoctfile under OS X.

Web pages that would be good references for Octave installation/use on OS X
are:
