Sorry for the spam, but forgot to mention in my last message that I was able to update octave out of the box on another Intel Mac Pro, which in principle has the same OS setup, though it does have a different history, which may include some past variants on X11 (though now using official Apple version). So you may well not be able to reproduce the problem I had on the other Mac. -Andy
