Hi, just installed octave.app. It's the sourceforge download of the ppc

version of 3.0.3. My mac is at 10.4.11. I get the following error in my

terminal screen when starting octave:

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave: line 72:   379

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-3.0.3" "$@"

what's the fix?

Don't know yet.
Please edit the file 'Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave' and add the word 'echo ' at the beginning of line 72.
Then startup 'Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave' from Terminal.app and send back all the output you then see.
