Dear Werner, If you try to avoid the troubles of installing a zillion compilers for the sake of installing poppler, what about switching to a super lightweight pplib (currently available only inside LuaTeX sources)? :) :) :) On Sat, 8 Sep 2018 at 17:46, Werner LEMBERG wrote: > > > What exactly di

Hello Manav, ATLAS is LAPACK installed from MacPorts, so what you are asking for is already available with octave +atlas. The OpenBLAS port, if installed with +lapack, also provides LAPACK, in which case it can be used with Octave as "octave +openblas". David On Sun, Sep 9, 2018 at 9:49 AM, Man

Hi, Good suggestion. Certianly would be an issue if different c++ runtimes are being mixed. Easiest solution, if this is the case - Use clang (either system or one of MacPorts versions) instead of gcc, as then there will be no c++ runtime mis-matches, as these all use the same runtime. Chr
