I have Octave installed via Fink on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

I have uninstalled and installed Octave many times without number in order to get Octave-Forge packages installed, but all my attempts have ended in futility thus far.

I am a complete newbie to Mac and all the POSIX like commands.

I tried installing Octave-Forge packages through Fink, I got segmentation faults, I also tried installing each package independently, I still got the same segmentation fault, so I guess the whole problem has to do with my mac os x configuration.

Here is the log of my last atttempt of installing octave-forge, any help will be appreciated.

Isaiah, I've been struggling with this problem also. For me it occurs only on Intel based Macs using a Fink install.

Are you also compiling on an Intel based mac?

In any event, I do not have a solution.

Hi,

you need to find out where exactly the problem appears. I expect that it has something to do with packages that need compilation of sources. Try not to install the audio package, because it's implementation includes something like

  #include <linux/soundcard.h>

hhhmmm... this doesn't work us. However, installing this package doesn't 'panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...' my Mac but the *.oct files aren't installed (only the *m files are installed). Try to install these packages instead

 - time (package contains *.m files only)
 - signal (package contains *.m files and *.cc files)

   If this package fails for you then open a Terminal.app and do
   bash~:$ tar -xzf signal-1.0.4.tar.gz
   bash~:$ cd signal-1.0.4/src
   bash~:$ ./configure && make # do you see any errors on screen?
   bash~:$ octave # and do a test call to one of the functions of this package
                  # do you see any errors on screen?

 - odepkg (package contains *.m, *.c and *.f files)

   If this package fails for you then open a Terminal.app and do
   bash~:$ tar -xzf odepkg-0.3.3.tar.gz
   bash~:$ cd odepkg-0.3.3/src
   bash~:$ ./configure && make # do you see any errors on screen?
   bash~:$ octave # and do a test call to one of the functions of this package
                  # do you see any errors on screen?
