Re: Octave on Mac

[A Scotte Hodel]

I was able to compile octave-2.1.69 on my machine only by deleting all 
traces of octave 2.1.64 (my most recent install).  I'm still unable to 
compile octave-forge on my machine.  Here's where the compile hangs.  
The error messages make the fink-installed png.h suspect, but I don't 
know enough to evaluate that.
