Comment (by roberthuston@…):

 I still encountered the crash problem after updating. I meant to reply to
 this thread but got sidetracked. I also encountered the "fltk" issue too.

 Doing

 {{{
 sudo port self update
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 still produced a buggy octave build for me. I had to use

 {{{
 sudo port -f install octave +gui configure.compiler=clang
 }}}

 to make it behave. Also, the
 /opt/local/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc file has

 {{{
 graphics_toolkit("fltk");
 }}}

 as the last line. It should be

 {{{
 graphics_toolkit("gnuplot");
 }}}

 (At least it was in all previous installations.) Just edit octaverc to fix
 this.

 If you want fltk, then install fltk-devel prior to reinstalling octave and
 then add "+fltk" as a variant

 {{{
 sudo port install fltk-devel
 sudo port -f install octave +fltk +gui configure.compiler=clang
 }}}

 Use fltk-devel since octave doesn't work correctly with the regular fltk.
 (Note: The "+fltk" variant isn't listed in octave's "port info" output,
 but it still seems to work.)

 determining which compiler to use. But, that's a separate issue from this
 ticket's; so, I went ahead and checked in these changes -- including a
 rev-bump to get changes in place for everyone. Added in r132228, r132229,
 and r132230.
