problems installing optim on OSX 10.9

[sdorsher]

Hi,

I installed Octave using MacPorts on my MacBook, which runs OSX 10.9. None
of the packages seem to have installed with it. Now I am trying to figure
out how to install optim, which requires miscellaneous, which requires
general. It also requires struct. 

When I try to install struct via pkg install -forge struct at the octave
command line, I get the following error message. 

mkoctfile: stripping disabled on this platform
mkoctfile: stripping disabled on this platform
mkoctfile: stripping disabled on this platform
mkoctfile: stripping disabled on this platform
For information about changes from previous versions of the struct package,
run 'news ("struct")'.


When I try to install general via pkg install -forge general at the octave
command line, I get the following error message. 

unpackfields.cc:92:39: error: no member named 'assign' in 'symbol_table'
                        symbol_table::assign (fld_names(i), map.content...

I don't really know how to begin debugging this. I have general familiarity
with Linux without a lot of practice in installation, but I am new to
MacPorts. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,
Steven
