#45003: Cannot install control package in Octave 3.8.1 on Mac OSX ----------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: MacPorts@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: octave control | Port: octave, octave-control ----------------------------+------------------------------------ After MacPorts upgraded octave to 3.8.1, octave could no longer load the .oct files that came with the control package. (There was no path problem, but dlopen() failed anyway, with "Reason: image not found", but the binary file was there, dated April 18, meaning it's the same one that used to work.) I uninstalled octave* and rebuilt like this (as I usually do): {{{

I originally reported this to the GNU Octave bugtracker, and got this reply: ... "With either Octave 3.8.1 and 3.8.2 compiled manually on Mavericks I cannot reproduce your problem so this appears to be a MacPorts rather than an Octave problem:" {{{
pkg install -forge control For information about changes from previous versions of the control package, run 'news control'. tf (1)
Transfer function 'ans' from input 'u1' to output ... y1: 1 Static gain.
version ans = 3.8.1 }}} "... If I have to guess, though, a possible cause could be mixing clang and gfortran which, according to my experience, never worked properly on OSX. When building OSX binaries I use gcc for Octave and ALL its dependencies. In MacPorts you can do that by specifying the gccXX variant when available or specifying the compiler explicitly."
