    2622Tested octave out without using above recommended --no-gui-libs variant.  It came up with nice looking graphics but when I attempted to use the vender supplied m-script based "featool" from Precision Simulation their graphics routines may have called up some fancier stuff which led to missing features in their example problem windows.   This was alluded to in another macports octave ticket with a different number.  Will try to find and install the MacTex Latex on my mac and per recommendation of the other ticket will set the path so the mac library for that appears first so it will be preferentially used by octave.  If I have continued problems will report on that in the other ticket for that problem though I'm not sure it is a problem of lack of MacTex Latex graphics so will also be working with Precision Simulation who claim that their featool works on octave as well as Matlab.
