Mkoctfile

I am still unable to get mkoctfile to work on an iBook
running Tiger (OSX10.4).  I am not even trying to
compile the “C” file from the program I am trying to
port from MatLab to Octave.  I am working only with
“oregonator” from the manual.  I have saved it using
Word, textedit, subEthaEdit with no change.  The
command that I use from the terminal shell is
“mkoctfile oregonator.c”, and the fie has been saved
as oregonator.c.  I have searched my hard drive for
mkoctfile and found the folowing.

/usr/local/bin/mkoctfile
/usr/local/bin/mkoctfile-2.1.71

 cd to the directory “bin” reveals the following

doctorpops:/usr/local/bin allangol$ ls -1
agc.c
gnuplot
mex
mkoctfile
mkoctfile-2.1.71
octave
octave-2.1.71
octave-bug
octave-bug-2.1.71
octave-config
octave-config-2.1.71
octave-core

Trying to invoke mkoctfile to compile “agc.c” brings
up the following error.
doctorpops:/usr/local/bin allangol$
/usr/local/bin/mkoctfile agc.c
/usr/local/bin/mkoctfile: line 1: gcc: command not
found

Specifically, what am I doing wrong?  What shoi\uld
the exact unix commands be?

Thanks

allan
