The DMG would have been dynamically linked to either the Carbon framework or 
X11.  If the former, Octave called CGDisplayBitsPerPixel which is not present 
in the Carbon framework for 10.7 or 10.8.  If the latter, you'll need to 
install X11 as MacOS 10.8 no longer bundles it.

There may be other problems as well.
