Re: Octave & Mac OSX

 I use the XDarwin package rather than the
fink X installation, mostly because I couldn't get the latter to work on my
iBook.

Let me advise against that. Fink gets slightly upset if it wants to install or update other packages and X was not installed the way it expects. In the end I nuked by XDarwin package (rm -rf /etc/X11 and such !!!) and let fink re-install the whole caboodle.

If you run into trouble with fink, ask on the fink-beginners mailing list. Assistence is virtually guaranteed.
