octave-2.9.15 doesn't compile on Leopard

[charles.smart@…]

Octave doesn't compile from a clean install of macports on leopard. I installed macports on an otherwise blank system and then ran "sudo port install octave". After successfully building its dependencies, the following error message came out:
