I installed octave from octave-3,23-1386.dmg.
When I attempt to rin octave I get the following message:

I am using a 1.67 ghz PowerPC G4 with 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM

What else do I need?

You've downloaded and installed the Intel version of Octave and are trying to run it on your PowerPC based Mac.

Please download and install the PowerPC version of Octave instead.
