I have now fixed the regex problem that was screwing up detection of 2.9.x (where x is a single digit) so please try again. Hazen has reported that octave (version 2.1.xx) works for him on Mac OS X so it's likely the regex fix will be all you need. > I suggest that we use it [octave-config] to get octave information for octave.cmake. The problem with octave-config is that the list of -p options changes rather drastically with octave version so queries to octave-config for build information must be version specific. That's a real PIA so I have given up on octave-config. Another possibility (see my previous post about this) is to use the "mkoctfile" command (essentially an independent platform-specific octave build system) within our build system. That's the approach we use with our ABS, but I never liked it particularly since it means there is a foreign build system within our build system (either CBS or ABS) so you have to deal with the union of the bugs for both build systems. So far (except for minor problems such as the version number) the current simplified linking approach I am using to build the octave interface to PLplot is working both on the Linux (Debian stable and Ubuntu Dapper with results still to come from Orion on Fedora) and Mac OS X platforms (at least for Hazen), but if we run into a showstopper problem with that approach as we extend testing to other platforms, I am mentally prepared to fall back to mkoctfile.
