Hi,
I was building octave and got an error but I see there is a patch to fix this. I've downloaded the patch but have no idea on how to apply the patch. Can someone give me guidance please?
Go into the octave ports directory <macports root>/dports/math/octave and execute `sudo port extract` then go into the "work" directory and apply the patch[1]. After you've applied the patch execute `sudo port install octave`.

Hi, I haven't looked at this for a number of weeks. Shouldn't I be applying the patch to the SuiteSparse directory rather than the octave directory? Could someone tell me what I should type at the command line to apply the patch as I'm a bit lost with all of this... Thanks.
