Re: GNU Octave on MacOS High Sierra FAILED

[Marius Schamschula]

Stephane,

1) Have you tried installing octave (i.e. 4.4.1)?

From the main.log file I see you are trying to install octave-devel (5.0.0). octave-devel builds are often broken.

2) I have seen that there are issues with the accelerate framework (nothing new, the reason I used atlas myself). However, because of the way the macOS kernel time slices, atlas will fail to be properly optimized. 

See: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/54342

I've stopped using atlas with El Capitan, as the maintainer has not updated it to current versions and supported newer gcc versions.

Dear all,

I have got a MacMini 2010 with MacOS High Sierra Version.

I am trying to install the software GNU Octave from the Mac ports with latest version, and I get some issues :

Apparently there is a problem with the module « socklen », as I read in log files.

As described in wiki page (https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_macOS), I assume I have made the preliminary about the packages atlas and arpack. I launched the following installation command for Octave : sudo port install octave -accelerate+atlas (with admin rights).

I join you here also the config.log and main.log files so that you can analyze them and help to solve the problem.

<config.log>

<main.log>

I thank you for your effort in contributing of development and improvement of GNU Octave.

Best regards,

Stephane Weisse.
