Comment:

 Replying to [comment:11 SenileFelineS]:
 > Also, I just did a clean install of octave. (there were some warnings
 but it didn't halt the installation). However, when I try to launch Octave
 with the GUI (command: {{{octave --gui "$@"}}}), Octave hangs/freezes and
 never loads. Could this have anything to do with the Carbon
 framework?...Just a shot in the dark - I noticed from compilation that it
 was mentioned in some of the verbose stdout (using: 'port install
 octave...').

 A a general rule, a ticket should deal with only one issue.\\
 A new issue warrants a new ticket.

 > After doing some internet sleuthing, apparently when switching between
 different versions of octave that are built with different versions of Qt
 (i.e. qt4 vs. qt5), the file ~/.config/octave/qt-settings cannot exist
 when switching from one version of Qt to another.

 I am glad you found a solution.\\
 Thank you for passing it along.
