Re: compiling 3.8.0 on OSX

[John Hayes]

Hi Stuart,

I’m on OS X 10.6.8 as well and trying to compile 3.8.0 (ideally with the GUI). 
I’ve run into a number of problems but had gotten through a lot of the Octave 
compilation up to the point where the code was trying to link to some fortran 
library functions that were missing. FYI, here’s a bit of the stack trace:

I was using this gfortran: gcc version 4.6.2 20111019 (prerelease) (GCC). That 
version is not consistent with my gcc though: gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. 
build 5646). So, I’ve decided to update my GCC and gfortran together to 
hopefully solve these incompatibilities. I’m trying GCC 4.8.2, and it’s been 
building about an hour. 

I’ll let you know if it works -- fingers crossed.

Best regards,

John
