Re: install of octave not possible?

Yes, this is really necessary. The gcc40 port was built so you would have a gfortran that is ABI compatible with your gcc and g++. Apple does not supply gfortran so MacPorts has to build it. (And Octave really does have modules written in c, c++ and fortran :-) )

Is gcc40 the standard port to depend upon when one needs a fortran compiler? The reason for all the current py-scipy bugs on trac is that the port doesn't install a fortran compiler as a dependancy. I put up a patch for it, but told it to depend upon gcc41. Should that be changed to gcc40? Thanks, Andy
