The problem here is that Mac Ports installs a very old version of Octave. Installing the latest version (3.6.4) from source seems to resolve the issue. At least .O$version() works! Installing Octave from source under MacOS takes some work due to many dependencies, and the need for work-arounds for Apple changes and deprecated features. See, for example: http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Mac
Nice work! For the sake of future wanderers landing on this thread via google, these days the "preferred" package manager on OSX seems to be homebrew: http://brew.sh It's so good, Simon Urbanek doesn't hate it, yet ... which is not to say that he endorses it ;-) https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2013-September/010303.html They've also got the latest octave on tap: $ brew info octave | head -n2 octave: stable 3.6.4 http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index.html HTH, -steve
