#44342: octave-general @1.3.4_0 Configure error - build failure
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  roberthuston@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:  octave-general  |       Port:  octave-general
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 After upgrading to octave @3.8.1_0, I also needed to upgrade my Octave
 packages. However, octave-general @1.3.4_0 now fails at configuration
 because it can't find /opt/local/share/octave/3.8.1/etc/macros.texi. I
 went to that directory and verified that the file is indeed missing. My
 previous version of octave-general @1.3.2_0 was fine, but it ran with my
 installation of octave @3.6.4.  It would be nice to play with the new GUI,
 but I can't be without my Octave packages, so I'm reverting for now.

 The end of the

 .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave-general/main.log
