Re: gnuplot with octave

[marius173]

Anand,

David Collett's instructions are somewhat out of date.

What does

ls -l 
/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.72/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin8.3.0/octave-forge

say?

Please update octave-2.1.72-1-osx3.tar.gz to octave-2.1.72-2-osx3.tar.gz and 
install gcc-3.4.5-1-
osx4.tar.gz from hmug.org.

IIRC, octave-2.1.72-1-osx3.tar.gz was built with g95 which I no longer support.

Marius
