 > I believe, from reading at the link I left in the summary, that the
 patch needs to be in graphicsmagick.

 The link in the summary references three links:

 This bug report says the problem should be fixed as of Octave 3.4.x and
 GraphicsMagick 1.3.13. The GraphicsMagick port is at version 1.3.18 so it
 should contain the fix. The octave port is at version 3.2.4 and therefore
 presumably doesn't contain the fix, which is why I suggested using the
 octave-devel port which is at version 3.6.4.

 This seems to be a bug report about a software package called
 "drawtiming", the fix for which was to patch the drawtiming package. I'm
 not familiar with that software package, and "port search drawtiming"
 doesn't show any such port in MacPorts.

 This bug report against Red Hat Fedora 14 seems to be the same Octave
 3.2.4 / GraphicsMagick 1.3.12 incompatibility, which was closed as wontfix
 because Fedora 14 reached end of life.
