Could you provide the full output of "sudo port clean --all octave && sudo port -d install octave" ?

You can simply use the attachment feature : ​http://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/18050/octave-build.out I'll look into it now.

What version of XCode are you using?

What version of XCode are you using?

3.1.1

[alakazam@…]

The issue seems to be a known problem :

​http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.bugs/10105

​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511075

​http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2008-October/011408.html

Do you have the latest octave and SuiteSparse Portfiles ?

The following macports issues are probably related :

​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/15054

​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/17026 (which I think is supposed to fix this bug)

The latest XCode build is 3.1.2 ; if you have the latest versions of all Portfiles (sudo port selfupdate), please consider updating XCode.

Xcode 3.1.2 did not help, but the following did:

sudo port deactivate SuiteSparse # shutdown 2.4 sudo port install SuiteSparse # install 3.2

Octave is working now, please close ticket.

Thanks for the incredible support.
