Problems running Octave on Mac 10.3.9 laptop

I am trying to run Octave on my old iBook running 10.3.9.  I downloaded and installed the binary from octave.sourceforge.net.
When I try to run it, I get the following message:

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave: line 74:   2757 Illegal instruction
OCTAVE_HOME="${OCTAVE_HOME}" PATH="${PATH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" CC="${CC}"
CXX="${CXX}" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}" CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS}" FFLAGS="${FFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" DL_LDFLAGS="${DL_LDFLAGS}" SED="$SED" "${ROOT}/bin/octave-3.0.0" "$@"

I get a similar message when I tried to install 3.0.1 as well.

I successfully installed Octave on my desktop machine running 10.4.11 without incident.

I would appreciate any help.  Thanks

Thad Walker

I don't think the problem is in that line (my suspicion is that the startup
script fails somewhere else on your system), however, I know from a few people
that Octave.app runs perfectly on the 10.3.9 PPC platform (your 10.3.9 system is
a PPC, or?). Is it the same message that appears if you start up Octave from a
running Terminal like

   bash:~$ /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
