     Type:  defect           |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal           |  Milestone:
Component:  ports            |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:                   |       Port:  octave-devel
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 I'm on OS X 10.8.5.  While building octave-devel I ran into the "sed: RE
 error: illegal byte sequence" error while creating
 `scripts/help/PKG_ADD-t`, which caused the build phase to fail.  Sorry I
 don't have the log file handy.

 There's already [https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/math
 /octave-devel/Portfile#L119 a section in octave-devel's `Portfile` to set
 LANG=C].  The comment says that it's for "10.8+" but the test there is `if
 {${os.major} > 12}`.  Should that be `>= 12` instead of  `> 12`?  I made
 that change locally and then I was able to successfully install octave-
 devel.

 Thanks!
