 > Ping! Any word on if this is still an issue?  Have you tried Xcode 5.0,
 5.0.1, or 5.1?

 Hi, and thanks for the patch.

 I did as you suggested,
 {{{
 sudo port clean octave
 sudo port selfupdate
 port update octave
 }}}
 and Octave seems to have been installed, at least from an Octave session I
 can compute 2+2 and make a plot using Gnuplot and Aquaterm. However, as
 before, one of the dependencies looks like it had problems—wxWidgets. The
 error reported is the same as before:

 {{{
 Error: wxWidgets-2.8 cannot be built on Moc OS X >= 10.7 with Xcode >=
 4.4, please use port wxWidgets-3.0 or wxgtk-2.8 instead
 }}}
 (I have OS X 10.8.5 and Xcode 4.6.3.)

 and some diagnostics including this:
 {{{

 Error rebuilding wxWidgets
     while executing
 "error "Error rebuilding $portname""
     (procedure "revupgrade_scanandrebuild" line 382)
     invoked from within
 "revupgrade_scanandrebuild broken_port_counts $opts"
     (procedure "macports::revupgrade" line 5)
     invoked from within
 "macports::revupgrade $opts"
     (procedure "action_revupgrade" line 2)
     invoked from within
 "action_revupgrade $action $portlist $opts"
     (procedure "action_upgrade" line 25)
     invoked from within
 "$action_proc $action $portlist [array get global_options]"
     (procedure "process_cmd" line 93)
     invoked from within
 "process_cmd $remaining_args"
     invoked from within
 "if { [llength $remaining_args] > 0 } {

     # If there are remaining arguments, process those as a command
     set exit_status [process_cmd $remaining..."
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 4857)
 }}}

 And, also as before, I get
 {{{
 port installed wxwidgets
 $The following ports are currently installed:
   wxWidgets @2.8.12_0
   wxWidgets @2.8.12_1 (active)
 }}}
 I don't know why Octave needs wxWidgets or what is going on here but maybe
 this should be another ticket.

 Jerry
