Octave 2.9.10 on my Mac

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all,

first of all I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU for the latest Octave. I  
love the Matlab-like plotting stuff!

I've built 2.9.10 on my Mac (a PowerBook G4 / PPC) following the  
instructions from http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForMac (more  
or less). One problem I've encountered is that the help function does  
not work well. For example:

octave:9> help legend
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local//bin/makeinfo
  Reason: image not found
warning: help: Texinfo formatting filter exited abnormally
warning: help: raw Texinfo source of help text follows...
warning: help:

-*- texinfo -*-
@deftypefn {Function File} {} legend (@var{st1}, @var{st2}, @dots{})
@deftypefnx {Function File} {} legend (@var{st1}, @var{st2}, @dots{},  
@var{pos})
@deftypefnx {Function File} {} legend (@var{matstr})
....

What's that missing library stuff? How can I fix that?

Matthias
