Fwd: Problems with freebsd octave-forge ports?

[FW]

I asked this at the octave maintainers list, thought I would bounce it here too.

I will ask this at the appropriate freebsd list too, but I am having many weird
issues.  Just now I installed linear-algebra, and "textread" disappeared; I
deinstalled/ reinstalled io, and cartprod disappeared.  So I reinstall linear-
algebra....

Anyone maintain the ports here? I can provide more diagnostics if anyone is
interested.  I wouldn't mind doing the whole thing outside the ports system,
but I don't want to mess with the whole BSD approach.
