Ben,

I have XQuartz 2.6.3 (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/ ) installed, at  
least on my MBP with OSX 10.5.8.

I usually try to stay away from that, because I never really know if  
the maintainers apply additional patches to get the software running.  
I've run 'manually' compiled versions of octave, gnuplot, gcc and a  
bunch of other things for several years now, and this keeps me at  
least somewhat up to date as far as building and installing software  
on unixoid systems is concerned.

On the other hand, I have Ubuntu running in Virtualbox anyway, so I  
may just refer to that for the absolutely latest version of octave  
until my current build problems disappear.

Thanks anyway,

        Alex
