I followed all the instructions on the page

Specifically:
sudo touch /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
sudo ln -s /Applications/gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot
sudo touch /usr/local/bin/octave
sudo ln -s /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
/usr/local/bin/octave
But when I typed
octave
I got "permission denied".
Nevertheless, when I typed
env
I found that /usr/local/bin *is* in PATH
The next instructions said that I should then e-mail here.
Suggestions? Thanks.
Please verify you get the following.
ls -l /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
-rwxrwxrwx 1 bpabbott admin 2968 Apr 21 2011
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
It's there, and so is gnuplot. They both show up, with the correct
permissions. One small question, since my unix is rusty: octave shows
-rwxrwxrwx and gnuplot shows -rwxrwxrwx@ -- what's the difference?
And I don't understand: if it's -rwxrwxrwx, how can there be "permission
denied"?
