problem installing octave on mac using macports - gnuplot issue

[roman@…]

Hi all, I am a bit new to mac (had it only for a week) and I wanted to install Octave with GUI on it. I had some issues but I used this wiki: ​http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X (with MacPorts) and got this far: I get the following message after typing "sudo install octave +gui":

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port octave failed

I understand that the issue is probably associated with aquaterm - but I just can't build it, I tried to install it from source forge as a dmg. file, but the console does not recognise it when I type "aquaterm --version"

any help would be greatly appreciated - I have been trying to install octave for a few days now ... :/

We cannot know for sure what the problem is unless you attach the main.log file mentioned in the error message. But it is probable that you're experiencing the same problem everyone else with Xcode 7.2 is experiencing with aquaterm, which is described in #50040 and ProblemHotlist#xcode7.2.
