Hi,
If the installation failed, MacPorts would have printed some message,
most likely directing you to a log file. Please post *exactly* what was
print, and make that log file available.

Just installed Macports with the intention of using it to install
Octave. Obviously I'm very new as I'm a first timer.
When attempting to install Octave with command: sudo port install octave
+atlas+docs, I get the Error: Processing of port octave failed.
Questions:
1. Does this mean that Octave was not installed at all?
1a. Or does it mean that only the failed dependencies, (eg Error: The
following dependencies were not installed: SuiteSparse atlas arpack
gcc48 cctools ... ) were not installed?
1b. If on the contrary Octave was installed except for dependencies,
where could I find executable?
2. What happened to all the dependencies that were installed eg
Installing libxml2 @2.9.1_0 which had no errors?
2a. Where were they installed?
3. What do terms "Activating" and "Cleaning" (eg ---> Installing
libtool @2.4.2_3 ---> Activating libtool @2.4.2_3) actually do?
3a. Do they overwrite libraries and files already there before this
operation?
4. If I decide to not attempt the port installation of Octave and try
other means, how do I clean up?
