Thanks, Tom. I don't know what I'd do without Octave.app. I have not  
generally been successful at compiling Octave on a Mac.

I must add that Octave.app 3.2.3 works fine for me on Mac OSX 10.6.1.  
Apparently my applications of Octave do not need compiled oct-files---
though I am very fuzzy about this.

Thanks Vic, I hope we find someone who volunteers to build more Octave.app apps
for a while ;)

Yes, you are talking about an essential point. Currently Octave.app is compiled
against 10.4 and works perfectly on 10.5, too. On 10.6 it works but it doesn not
work perfectly anymore.
I don't know how long we should build future versions of Octave.app against 10.4
SDK or if we "now" or after 3.2.x just can say that newer Octave.app versions
are build for 10.6 only with pure 64bit support like the OS likes it best and no
PPC version and no 32bit Intel version anymore?! Maybe things then become more
easy (to pack the whole app) compared to as it is right now.

Just FYI, there is at least one person on the list that won't be going to 10.6 any time soon, due to other application incompatibilities, and still has production machines happily running 10.4.
