#41969: Octave 3.6.4 fails to upgrade or install
---------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  other@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:  Octave   |       Port:  octave
---------------------+--------------------------------
 OS X 10.8.5
 Xcode 4.6.3

 I am having trouble doing upgrade for Octave. I reported this on the user
 mailing list originally on December 18, 2013. See

 {{{http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/33710/focus=33711}}}

 I have followed the instructions given there by MIchael Dickens.
 Specifically, I have done this:

 {{{
 $ sudo port clean octave
 $ sudo port selfupdate
 $ sudo port install octave +gcc48+atlas+docs+fltk
 }}}

 The last few lines of the Termial output is now similar to what it was as
 I reported on the list except that now, only config.log is referenced
 whereas before main.log was also referenced. Here are the last few lines
 of signficant output:

 {{{
 --->  Configuring octave
 Error: Failed to configure octave, consult
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave/octave/work/octave-3.6.4/config.log
 Error: org.macports.configure for port octave returned: configure failure:
 command execution failed
 }}}

 When trying to run the defective Octave installation, the following
 results:

 {{{
 dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libhdf5.7.dylib
   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/octave
   Reason: image not found
 Trace/BPT trap: 5
 }}}

 I have attached the referenced config.log and all of the Terminal.app
 output that was generated by the $ sudo port install octave
 +gcc48+atlas+docs+fltk command.
