Julien,

Under MacPorts octave-devel-release gives you octave 4.0.1.

Hello all,

What is the simplest way to get Octave 4.0.1 (or 4.0.0) working on Yosemite ?

I have found this page:

http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X

but it doesn't seem really up to date.

I haven’t tried it, but posts by users indicate that recent releases are also available with Homebrew.

I’m able to build on Yosemite using FInk for dependencies (but have not created a Fink package. If you’d prefer a Fink solution let me know.

I haven’t had a lot of time, but I’d be able to help out with a Fink option, too.  Ideally, I’d like to hand Octave and its related packages off to somebody else who has more time to devote to it.

Hi Alex,

The big problem with Octave on Mac OS X is lack of Omesa. I expect if Qt4 for X11 is used instead of the native version, then Omesa will work as well too.
