I downloaded Octave.app from sourceforge to my Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.6.
Octave can't find a library when plot is invoked. dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib I can't find where this library is stored. I don't know how to find a copy or a correct version if there is a version problem. Matlab has its own library files so I can resolve library problems. gnuplot and octave are both in the Applications folder and not in subfolders.
