You can configure with --path to be whatever you want.

$ ./configure --help
...
  --with-path             install path prefix
  --with-mpath            override path for m-files
  --with-opath            override path for oct-files
  --with-xpath            override path for executables
...

No guarantees the oct-files will actually work though. I'm no expert on dyld style shared libraries.

Thanks Joe,

This was my hunch, since both packages seemed to be near identical.

BTW, I always rebuild octave-forge, since things go into a different tree. I just wanted to do it once (per OS version).

Marius,

Although I haven't tried it with 2.1.72 on my Mac, my experience is that you can use the same octave-forge, but you have to rebuild octave-forge after
you install the new octave. This is because octave-forge is built with
mkoctfile from 2.1.72 and installed in directories labeled with 2.1.72. If
you don't do the rebuild, octave can't find octave-forge, and you get
messages about incompatible versions when you try to use the old .oct files.
