Re: script octave on mac osx

[Vic Norton]

You can use the shebang line

#!/usr/local/bin/octave

in Octave scripts if

1) You put the "Octave" application (in "octave.app.dmg" from

    <http://octave.sourceforge.net>) into your Applications folder, and,

2) In Terminal, you do

    $ sudo ln -s \

       /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave \

       /usr/local/bin

The nice thing about this approach is that whenever you drop a new version

of the Octave application into your Applications folder, the shebang line

#!/usr/local/bin/octave

will automatically use that version.

Vic

Hello,
I would like to make an octave script. How is it possible to do that on mac
osX.

it is said to use #! /bin/octave

but that seems to be the common path for linux, but what for mac osx? I
installed octave with macports.
I have no idea where the executable is now...

thanks a lot!!
