Re: Can't install control pkg on Mac OSX 10.10.3

[Brian Kaczynski]

I installed Octave 3.8.0 from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/2013-12-30%20binary%20installer%20of%20Octave%203.8.0%20for%20OSX%2010.9.1%20%28beta%29/

I am not savvy enough to "build" anything myself. :)  I have no idea what gfortran is either and have no idea if I even have it much less where it came from...

I guess part of the problem could be that there is no installer for OSX Yosemite yet so I grabbed the 3.8.0 version for OSX 10.9.1.  It seems to *mostly* work.  Maybe this is the reason I can't install packages though...?

I expect the problem is that your gfortran isn’t finding the proper libraries it requires when it attempts to compile AB01MD.f.

Did you build Octave yourself? Of did you download it from somewhere?

Where did you get gfortran from?
