Hello again,

In the last week since I asked my basic question about how to install optim on 
a Mac using MacPorts (sudo port install octave-optim), I had to reinstall my 
operating system. This broke MacPorts, so I had to uninstall MacPorts and 
reinstall it. Now I am trying to reinstall octave, including the optim package. 
However, it seems to be choking on installation of the general package. Here's 
the error message I'm getting:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install octave-optim
--->  Computing dependencies for octave-optim
--->  Dependencies to be installed: octave-miscellaneous octave-general 
octave-struct
--->  Configuring octave-general
Error: org.macports.configure for port octave-general returned: configure 
failure: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install octave-general
Please see the log file for port octave-general for details:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave-general/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: octave-miscellaneous 
octave-general octave-struct
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port octave-optim failed

Please do as the error asks and report this to Fink.  If you don't want to file 
a bug report, then use their maillist

The alternative suggested,



Umm...that's Macports, not Fink. Don't even THINK of reporting a Macports problem to Fink. :-)

pkg install optim-1.3.1.tar.gz
isn't working, possibly because I only get a tar file from hg, not a tar.gz 
file. It produces what looks like a mess of binary output in octave.

The file optim-1.3.1.tar.gz downloads loads on my mac.  Perhaps your's is 
unzipping it. Did you try ...

        pkg install optim-1.3.1.tar

I didn't quite follow the part about how to set $GCC and $LDFLAGS or how or why 
to install an older version of octave. I'm pretty sure I've installed the 
newest version since I just installed it. Would someone be willing to elaborate?

Some of the OctaveForge packages require a specific versions of Octave.

Before concluding you have the most recent version of Octave, please take the 
time to tell us what version you have installed.

Ben
