Well, octave doesn't compile due to a known bug (which will be fixed, sooner
or later) in Apples shipping compiler, but e.g. Scilab compiles an runs
nicely under OS X. The problem with octave is _not_ the math libraries, but
the c++-templates...

PS. See http://homepage.mac.com/persquare for info on how to run Scilab on
OSX.
