 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...').

 Understood. I thought the issues were related, when in reality they
 weren't. When in doubt, I'll make a new ticket. Which brings me to
 (hopefully) my last question. Essestially, I'm having issues with both the
 qt4 and qt5 guis on my system (OS X 10.7). Should I create a new ticket to
 describe the issues in both qt4 and qt5 builds of Octave? Or would this be
 more of an issue worth reporting to
 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave ? Is this ticket system more
 geared towards the macports/installation side?
