I see that you already have the required gcc5 packages installed. If you have also run "fink install octave382-atlas-qtmac-dev” then you have all the dependencies covered.
Ben
Ben,
I did run your steps 5) and 6) - i.e. installed and removed octave382-atlas-qtmac-dev.
I take it I do not need to update gcc5-compiler and gcc5-shlibs to a newer version.
Sunil
Ben,
On step 9) I did have to remove the ^M from the file.
There isn’t a ^M in the file I attached. Did you open the file in an editor before using it? Perhaps an editor whose standard format isn’t plain text?
