Octave on Intel Mac

[Jason Merrill]

Hi All,

I'm new to this list and fairly new to macports.  I'm trying to
install octave on an intel mac, but I'm having some trouble.  On my
first try, the install choked on gcc40.  I did a little poking around
and found that gcc40 doesn't play well with intel macs, so I tried
installing gcc42 and was eventually successful.  Every time I try to
install octave, however, it continues to try and install gcc40, even
if I add the +darwin_8_i386 variant explictly:

jason-merrills-computer:~ jm843$ sudo port install octave +darwin_8_i386
