Just to close this out (for posterity again).<br>
<br>
Dominick had pointed out to me off list that the octave formula isn't<br>
in the default homebrew install, and to get it you've got to "tap"<br>
their science repository by following the instructions here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science" target="_blank">https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science</a><br>
<br>
I had forgotten that I added those a while ago, so thanks again Dominick!<br>
