Thanks Ben,

I will wait for the results of your experiments.

I tried both changesets on an iMac. Both of them work. I suggest you apply the first one.

Now, I'll have to figure out what's wrong on my MacBookPro.

I compared the GRAPHICS_LIBS and found significant differences.

On my iMac (which worked)

GRAPHICS_LIBS = -L/sw/lib -framework OpenGL -dylib_file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib -L/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib -L/sw/lib/xft2/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfltk_gl -lGLU -lGL -lfltk -lXft -lpthread -lXext -lX11

On my MacBook Pro (which did not work)

GRAPHICS_LIBS = -L/sw/lib/fltk-aqua/lib -L/sw/lib -L/sw/lib -arch i386 -lfltk_gl -framework AGL -framework OpenGL -lfltk -lpthread -framework Carbon -framework ApplicationServices

The problem was that I had installed fltk-aqua-1.1.10 as well as fltk-aqua-shlibs-11.10 on the MacBook, and only the latter on the iMac. After uninstalling fltk-aqua-1.1.10, I got the same result as on the iMac.

Now both Macs work correctly with both changesets.

Regarding GRAPHICS_LIBS, that variable is set equal to the output of "fltk-config -ldflags".

fltk-config --ldflags

-L/sw/lib -framework OpenGL -dylib_file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib -L/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib -L/sw/lib/xft2/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfltk -lXft -lpthread -lXext -lX11

For the Fink package manager, the solution is to mark the fltk package as a build conflict with Octave.
