Can I use MacPorts to install Octave 3.6.4?

Still no go. In fact, I can’t even get gcc48 to build successfully on a fresh re-install of MacPorts. Both …

   sudo port install atlas +gcc48

… and …

   sudo port install gcc48

… each on a fresh MacPorts installation, fails while building gcc. The end of the log file looks like …

So, is this a problem with MacPorts? the gcc48 port? my setup (which I think is pretty vanilla OS X 10.10.1)? or, more likely, me?

I don’t want to keep bothering the whole list. Is there somebody who is willing to help me off-list and walk me through the steps to build Octave successfully on a fresh install of MacPorts?

Thanks again,

     Ray
