Comment (by dohertyt@…):

 I was able to build and install octave on my mac mini OS 10.11.5 using
 recommended

 sudo port clean octave

 sudo port selfupdate

 sudo port install octave


 but encountered graphics problems for the app' that I am attempting to use
 with octave.  Don't have the MacTex Latex installed.

 Received following error message during the build:

 ______________________
 unless octave is run with --no-gui-libs, graphics_toolkit("fltk") will
 cause a
 crash

 --->  Cleaning octave

 --->  Updating database of binaries

 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors

 --->  No broken files found.

 Tested octave out without using above recommended --no-gui-libs variant.
 It came up with nice looking graphics but when I attempted to use the
 vender supplied m-script based "featool" from Precision Simulation their
 graphics routines may have called up some fancier stuff which led to
 missing features in their example problem windows.   This was alluded to
 in another macports octave ticket with a different number.  Will try to
 find and install the MacTex Latex on my mac and per recommendation of the
 other ticket will set the path so the mac library for that appears first
 so it will be preferentially used by octave.  If I have continued problems
 will report on that in the other ticket for that problem though I'm not
 sure it is a problem of lack of MacTex Latex graphics so will also be
 working with Precision Simulation who claim that their featool works on
 octave as well as Matlab.
