Paul,
You have no choice. Octave cannot be built with Apple's "readline".
My personal approach is to build things into /usr/local. MacPorts (formally
known as DarwinPorts) uses /opt/local, and Fink uses /sw. In all cases the
Apple versions coexist with the chosen ports system.
I make a point of taking offending Apple packages, readline and /usr/bin/locale
in the case of octave under Mac OS X 10.4.x (neither is present under 10.3.9),
and temporarily renaming them during the configuration and build steps.
The resulting binaries have the full path to the library. You can check this
using otool, e.g.
otool -L /usr/local/bin/octave
/usr/local/bin/octave:
/usr/local/lib/octave-2.9.9/liboctinterp.dylib (compatibility version
0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/local/lib/octave-2.9.9/liboctave.dylib (compatibility version
0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/local/lib/octave-2.9.9/libcruft.dylib (compatibility version
0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/vecLib
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 182.24.0)
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
current version 5.2.0)
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current
version 5.4.0)
/usr/local/lib/libhdf5.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.2.3)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 88.1.7)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.4.0)
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.0.0)
for HMUG's octave 2.9.9 (10.4.x PPC).
For uninstall instructions search the archives of this list.
As far as the needed libraries: readline and hdf5, see the otool output.
However, You'll need g95, and a host of other GNU tools, gawk and sed and their
dependencies for installation, and all the dependencies of gnuplot to get
anything plotted. octave-forge needs a number of additional libraries. For a
complete list see the README files @ hmug,org.
I think I need to make installation a bit easier. I use my own build system
that requires installation and initial setup, but can automate installation.
For those interested, it is available at <http://www.hmug.org/mports/>. The
documentation is currently incomplete, however, the essentials are in the /man
directory.
