See also bug #48197 which references a StackOverflow thread that may have helped resolve a similar problem for that user.

OpenGL graphics are notoriously fragile on Mac OS X.  Try switching to the gnuplot toolkit.


graphics_toolkit gnuplot
plot (1:10)


If that works, add the first line which sets the graphics toolkit to your .octaverc file.  After that, every invocation of Octave will use gnuplot.

Hi there,

Got a new mac and tried to install Octave. Computing works but octave just crashes when I even just ask for plot(1:10).

I've used Homebrew and followed all steps on the wiki page.

Does anyone has issues with the newest octave and gnu ?
Thanks

Audrey

that was the crash report from apple
