Also fails on x86, but with different error:

The new version built on my MacBook! Good job whoever took over Octave, thank you.

[mak_suzu1@…]

I made it on MacBook Pro, after trying many build failures.... 1) re-install OS X, update to most up to date (10..4.8 etc). 2) Darwinports 1.3.2, full clean install 3) no other installs, indedd there was no /usr/local directory during installation.

But, the plot does not work, for example; octave:2> x=0:0.01:2; octave:3> y =sin(x*pi()); octave:4> plot(x,y); panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...

And, I ued xcode 2.4.1. Other issues, 1) glpk library is not included in the dependency list, 2) ghostscript also. and 3) +test seems not working ? I prefer to have "make check" report after such a huge and complex installation. I also recommend maintener should report "make check" results, so we novice can figure out how good or bad our installations are. Anyway, I made the octave build for the first time after 9 months of build failures. Thanks.

Addition, I made 'make check', at work directory. The results was pretty bad. After passing "Integrated test scripts:", Fixed test scripts:

test_args.m ............................................ PASS 10/10 test_arith.m ...........................................panic: Bus error -- stopping myself...

panic: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting... make[2]: * [check] Abort trap make[1]: * [check] Error 2 make: * [check] Error 2 [powerbook-12:octave/work/octave-2.9.9] user%

So, it looks that it was compiled but is not working correctly. Test process continues another several 100s. But it passed only 10.

The current port is 2.9.9 and it now works on Mac Intel.
