* The [[MacOS_X_App_Octave_Shell_Script|Octave shell script]] used to run Octave is designed to ensure that the bundled version of AquaTerm is used by Octave. This was done because binary incompatibilities have been encountered between the bundled Gnuplot and AquaTerm applications provided by other sources. If Octave/Gnuplot appear to have a problem producing a plot using AquaTerm, verify that Aquaterm is running. If it is not, then quit and relaunch the Octave App. If an Aquaterm application is running, please verify that it is the one bundled with Octave. | * The [[MacOS_X_App_Octave_Shell_Script|Octave shell script]] used to run Octave is designed to ensure that the bundled version of AquaTerm is used by Octave.

* Executables built by MacPorts may include features specific to the MacOS X version the executables were build on. As a result, the Octave App bundle may ''not'' run on a different version of MacOS X. Results reported by some volunteers testing an App bundle are below. As some of the reported results are inconsistent, individuals are cautioned to not interpret these results as definitive. | * Executables built by MacPorts may include features specific to the MacOS X version the executables were build on.
