Hi Ray - You actually want to look at the Portfile itself for the version info. In this case, the one you want is < https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/math/octave/Portfile?rev=121949 > .. or, revision 121949. The next revision of this Portfile (121950) bumps the version to 3.8.1. Sometimes you have to do a little tweaking to get things to work with the current version of 'port', but generally the changes are small. Good luck! - MLD
