Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I tried installing octave, but it keeps saying that the dependency 'atlas' cannot be found. I did a selfupdate, restarted, and successfully installed R (the statistical software package). But still no dice. Here's the output ( I did sudo port to start) :

[Users/casey] > install octave
--->  Computing dependencies for octave
Error: Dependency 'atlas' not found.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I don't know what to tell you; the atlas port definitely exists. Is there anything unusual about your MacPorts installation? Are you fetching ports from rsync or subversion? Have you ever had a local version of the atlas portfile? Have you ever modified the atlas portfile? Is the portfile there in the directory where it's supposed to be? Are there any errors from sync or selfupdate?

I know this is now closed, but I figured I'd throw this out there for future reference. I had tried many combinations of selfupdate and upgrade outdated, etc.. I finally just reinstalled MacPorts (didn't delete the old one) and it worked after that.
