Cure 2 Duo with Snow Leopard
Macports installed and octave-devel @3.6.1 deactivated

opens up with no errors right out of the DMG - rather than copying it to a 
separate hard drive location (I verified that my results are the same whether 
it's run out of the DMG or from a separate hard disk location)
starts up in a Terminal.

basic math functions work.

plotting did not work - plot(1:10,'.-') brought up an aquaterm window, but no 
plot was displayed.
close all did not actually close the blank aquaterm window
even tried to change Aquaterm prefs, but "client control" box didn't allow 
octave to close the aquaterm window.
