A bug report is not the correct place for asking for support or help from the community in installing Octave on your system. Please see http://octave.org/support. Support channels include the help mailing list (also available via nabble), wiki, irc, and/or talk to the homebrew project on irc or github.

The folder /usr/local/opt exists and has the content

williamhawkins$ ls /usr/local/opt
arpack gmp libtiff pcre qt veclibfort
epstool gnu-sed libtool pkg-config readline wget
fftw graphicsmagick little-cms2 plotutils sip xz
fontconfig hdf5 lua pstoedit suite-sparse
gcc isl metis pyqt szip
gd jpeg mpfr qhull tbb
gl2ps libmpc octave qrupdate texinfo
glpk libpng openssl qscintilla2 transfix

But the next one in the tree, free type, does not exist.

Williams-Mac-Pro:~ williamhawkins$ ls /usr/local/opt/freetype
ls: /usr/local/opt/freetype: No such file or directory

I obviously have an error in my installation, but what is it?

Correction to original post.

I have tried everything to get octave to run. I’ve installed all the necessary modules. I’ve installed Homebrew, and tried to follow the
instructions in wiki-octave for mac. I’m running Yosemite OSX 10.11.5 on an iMac. I have gnuplot installed and it works in wxMaxima. I do not know
if I need Aquaterm to run gnuplot so I haven’t tried to install Aquaterm. I wrote the script file to get it running.

When I d-click on the Octave Icon, I get this error:

/usr/local/bin/octave; exit
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/octave/4.0.2_3/libexec/octave/4.0.2/exec/x86_64-apple-darwin15.5.0/octave-gui
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
octave exited with signal 5
logout
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.
[Process completed]
Can you please help me with this? I have spent a lot of time trying to get Octave to run.
Thanks,
Will Hawkins
