Jordi,
Let me bottom line it for you.
I followed the source compile procedure on the wiki page.
I did this because I need version 2.6 or above.
I need this version, as opposed to version 2.4 from the binary, because I need
the packages and not just the main program to work.
If you have a specific solution that will get me what I need, please let me
know (though, I hate fink because the last time I used it the program trashed
my computer).
Otherwise I am officially declaring Octave incompatible with mac, installing a
version of Ubuntu on VM Ware, and loading Octave that way.
I do not have time in my life for guessing what might or might not work.
This program has already thrown 16 hours of my life in the trash, and that's 16
hours I'm never getting back.
