Hi Sebastian,

Actually the first package manager that I used was Homebrew but
unfortunately one of the apps that I was interested in was not present in it
so I switched to macPorts :)

But going back to my problem, if macports does not interfere with the octave
.dmg my first step would be to understand why the .dmg doesn't allow to
install packages.

BTW, I'm using Yosemite at the moment. Do you recommend I upgrade to El
Capitan before we start the debug?

About your request of running otool, the directories you required do not
exist in my App. The directory that I found are

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/usr/Cellar/octave/4.0.3

and going further:

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/usr/Cellar/octave/4.0.3/lib/octave/4.0.3/liboctave.dylib

with liboctave.dylib being a shortcut

The same observations hold for liboctinterp.dylib

Let me know,

Marco
