octave upgrade error

[jorgos.castello@…]

Hi all,

It wasn't possible for me to install the gcc44 port (See my Ticket #40418). So I payed attention to my command history and figured out, that I've uninstalled my "openmpi"-port. Suddenly, the "sudo port install openmpi" command installed my gcc44 and arpack port and it seemed to me that now everything is ok, but I'm getting the shown error message.

Error: org.macports.build for port octave returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port octave for details:

Please help me.

In the future, please fill in the Port field with the port that actually fails to build.

Why are you using such an old version of gcc? The port uses gcc48 by default now.

[jorgos.castello@…]

The openmpi port installed it. If there is a command to fix that compiler selection manually I'd do it. But I'm not a pro in those commands (as example Ticket #40418).

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

As with any variant:

sudo port install octave +gcc48

[jorgos.castello@…]

Thanks ! I learned something new.

As with any variant:

sudo port install octave +gcc48

If that helped octave install, great! If not, try the octave-devel port; it's newer.

[jorgos.castello@…]

Thanks, I'll try it out. Currently I've another error message with gdal (Ticket #40431)

Hi macsforever2000@…:

Why are you using such an old version of gcc? The port uses gcc48 by default now.

You told me with the referred post, that the default compiler isn't the gcc44 compiler anymore. Is there a page where I can see right away what kind of compiler, libraries,.. are used by default ? I'm asking that, because I've also troubles to update the "Pallet" port. I still use version 1.0.

Please do:

sudo port clean octave
sudo port selfupdate

and then try installing octave again. Should be fixed with r114034.
