I successfully built octave-2.1.69 and octave-forge on OS X 10.3.8 with
Xcode 1.5 tools and the November 2004 gcc update installed. I have seen
reports on this list that octave-2.9.x won't compile (yet) on a Mac, under
either 10.3.x or 10.4.x. Also, I haven't tried building octave since I
installed the cctools-528.5 update.
