Hi.

I'm guessing the way to use an email list is simply to send an email to the address. If I got that wrong my appologies.

I've installed octave as per the instructions on this page https://class.coursera.org/ml-005/wiki/octave-matlab

I had tried using the install instructions on the wiki but failed.

When using octave all is fine until I try to plot(x, y). The basics of the message I get can be seen in the following text when trying to run gnuplot as follows.

-------

$ exec '/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot'

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

  Referenced from: /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib

  Reason: Incompatible library version: libfontconfig.1.dylib requires version 17.0.0 or later, but libfreetype.6.dylib provides version 13.0.0

/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot: line 71: 12247 Trace/BPT trap: 5       GNUTERM="${GNUTERM}" GNUPLOT_HOME="${GNUPLOT_HOME}" PATH="${PATH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" HOME="${HOME}" GNUHELP="${GNUHELP}" DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="${DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH}" GNUPLOT_PS_DIR="${GNUPLOT_PS_DIR}" DISPLAY="${DISPLAY}" GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR="${GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR}" "${ROOT}/bin/gnuplot-4.4.3" "$@"

[Process completed]

----------

I guess my fundamental problem here is I don't know how to update the bit that needs updating.

Cheers for any help

Scott
