I need help with this one. I've installed octave using macports. Installing all the dependencies took about 3-4 hours, and it also gave an error in installing qrupdate (library for fast updates of QR and Cholesky decompositions). I searched for a patch to the portfile on the macports forums, found one, installed qrupdate, then installed octave.
This was only text-based, so I also installed octave-general, octave-plot, octave-zenity, and qtoctave-mac, in that order.
if I open octave, or qtoctave-mac , I cannot plot anything because plots don't open. e.g.
> x = linspace(0,5); plot(x,sin(x))
gives nothing.
Any advice?
