Error downloading fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz during Octave installation on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

[Gyan Ranjan]

Hi,

I have been trying to install Octave on Mountain Lion using the 

homebrew packet manager as described on the wiki page. 

However, at the stage where one has to type: 

% brew install octave 

the installation process is stalled with the following error:

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

Error: Download failed: http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/fltk/1.3.2/fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz

Can any one please provide a means to resolve this? 

Many thanks!

Best,

Gyan
