several octave packages generate error

Hi folks - I am a new macports user so I might be missing something.  I have a new macports install on snow leopard.   Octave installed fine.  But now I am trying to install add-on packages.  For several of them (octave-octcdf or octave-multicore for example) everything configures, builds and installs correctly but after the activation step it gives an error:

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned:
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing:


a

port installed shows that it installed and it says activated.  So maybe no issue except when one octave package requires others - if the dep fail on this message then the install stops.

Thanks,
R Haynes
