Problems running Octave on Mac 10.3.9 laptop

[Thad Walker]

I am trying to run Octave on my old iBook running 10.3.9.  I downloaded and installed the binary from octave.sourceforge.net.

When I try to run it, I get the following message:

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave: line 74:   2757 Illegal instruction

OCTAVE_HOME="${OCTAVE_HOME}" PATH="${PATH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" CC="${CC}"

CXX="${CXX}" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}" CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS}" FFLAGS="${FFLAGS}"

LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" DL_LDFLAGS="${DL_LDFLAGS}" SED="$SED" "${ROOT}/bin/octave-3.0.0" "$@"

I get a similar message when I tried to install 3.0.1 as well.

I successfully installed Octave on my desktop machine running 10.4.11 without incident.

I would appreciate any help.  Thanks
