-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Just installed Macports with the intention of using it to install Octave.
 Obviously I'm very new as I'm a first timer.

 When attempting to install Octave with command: sudo port install octave
 +atlas+docs, I get the Error: Processing of port octave failed.

 Questions:
 1. Does this mean that Octave was not installed at all?
         1a. Or does it mean that only the failed dependencies, (eg Error:
 The following dependencies were not installed: SuiteSparse atlas arpack
 gcc48 cctools ... ) were not installed?
         1b. If on the contrary Octave was installed except for
 dependencies, where could I find executable?
 2. What happened to all the dependencies that were installed eg Installing
 libxml2 @2.9.1_0 which had no errors?
         2a. Where were they installed?
 3. What do terms "Activating" and "Cleaning" (eg --->  Installing libtool
 @2.4.2_3 --->  Activating libtool @2.4.2_3) actually do?
         3a. Do they overwrite libraries and files already there before
 this operation?
 4. If I decide to not attempt the port installation of Octave and try
 other means, how do I clean up?
