Re: problems installing optim on OSX 10.9 using MacPorts

[Steven Dorsher]

I reported it, but what's your take on why this other approach doesn't work?

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/optim octave-optim

(start octave)

pkg install optim-1.3.1.tar

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:
