It was a permission problem. On my new eMac with OS 10.4.2, I need
permission to do things in /usr. You'd think it's my computer but I
have to
ask for permission!. To get permission to all of /usr, select the folder
/usr, then file/Get info/Details/ Apply to enclosed items and give
yourself
permission to read and write. So now it worked.

This was recently discussed and I thought it was straight-forward as the
following worked on Mac running Tiger (OSX10.4). Alas what worked
fine only
recently would not work today. I had deleted the files orgenoator.o and
oregonator.oct which had been created when I last practiced using
mkoctfile
oregonator.cc and now I get a FATAL.

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 ³C² file from the program I am trying to
port from MatLab to Octave. I am working only with
³oregonator² from the manual. I have saved it using
Word, textedit, subEthaEdit with no change. The
command that I use from the terminal shell is
³mkoctfile oregonator.c², 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 ³bin² 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 ³agc.c² 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
