Dear Sebastian, dear Carlo,

Since you are more involved with what's going on with mac, I'm attaching 
another report of problems in compiling odepkg-0.8.5 on mac to the one 
from Carlos.

Best,
Jack

--- Begin Message --- Subject: odepkg Octave 4.0.0. for OS X Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 03:30:19 +0100

Dear,

Is it possible that the 'odepkg' (odepkg-0.8.5) does not work with octave 4.0.0. on OS X? 

I installed octave through homebrew. I get the following error:

pkg: error running `make' for the odepkg package.

error: called from 'configure_make' in file /usr/local/Cellar/octave/4.0.0_3/share/octave/4.0.0/m/pkg/private/configure_make.

My command line tools (Xcode) are updated. 

Kind regards,

Senne Van Baelen
