swig-octave: mkoctfile... configure: error: mkoctfile is not installed

[chcorson@…]

I tried to update all packages under ports with: sudo port upgrade outdated (run on Oct 2nd 2012)

Octave failed to build complaining that mkoctfile does not exist. From the logfile for swig-octave, the first error encountered was:

mkoctfile... configure: error: mkoctfile is not installed

See more detail of logfile below.

Do you in fact have mkoctfile? Can you also attach the config.log?
