(1) This used to work but does not currently. Work is in progress to bring Octave back to a working state.

(2) This should work if you can get LASi and all of its dependencies installed correctly. A package manager such as Fink is probably the best way to go.

(3) Both Fortran bindings, f77 and f95, don't work on Mac OS X 10.5.

(4) Test on Mac OS X 10.5.1 (where wxWidgets 2.8.4 is preinstalled).
