Mac OSX 10.6 and Octave

[Vic Norton]

Has anyone been able to successfully install Octave 3.2.2 (or any  
earlier version) on the new Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) operating  
system? I've heard nothing but horror stories so far. I would very  
much like to upgrade to Mac OSX 10.6 (which I have purchased), but I  
dare not upgrade unless I can install Octave. Mind you, I am an old  
(74), unix-un-savvy mathematician; I need a relatively straightforward  
installation process.

By the way, Octave 3.2.2 works perfectly now, on my 2.93 GHz Intel  
Core 2 Duo iMac with Mac OSX 10.5.8. As I understand it, Octave 3.2.2  
will stop working as soon as I upgrade to Mac OSX 10.6. Am I wrong  
about this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Vic
