I am trying to install octave using macports with the command:
sudo port install octave
Everything seems to be all right until it has to install gnuplot, where I have this error message:
---> Computing dependencies for octave
---> Dependencies to be installed: gnuplot gperf grep gsed hdf5 less pstoedit plotutils qhull qrupdate transfig netpbm
---> Building gnuplot
Error: org.macports.build for port gnuplot returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install gnuplot
Please see the log file for port gnuplot for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_gnuplot/gnuplot/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: gnuplot gperf grep gsed hdf5 less pstoedit plotutils qhull qrupdate transfig netpbm
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port octave failed
Then I go to the file /logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_gnuplot/gnuplot/main.log
and the last bit, which seems to refer to the error, looks like this:

I have no idea how to overcome this problem other than installing octave using the binary installer...but I would like to know what is happening to the macport installation.
Seems like the portfile isn't forcing an update. If memory serves, libgobject is part of glib2. try:
> sudo port -v selfupdate
> sudo port [-b] update glib2 [-universal]
and then try installing octave again.
It might be worth checking if other libraries / ports need updating:
> port list outdated
> sudo port [-b] update outdated [-universal]
> sudo port uninstall inactive
