[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29553] missing arpack: make check segfaults on eigs

[Petr Mikulik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #29553 (project octave):

> I am unable to reproduce this on a development version
> (83de7b060e91) with a gnulib pulled on 4/19/2010.

With or without arpack installed?

> Can you retry using the the latest version of the dev sources
> and gnulib?

The crash is also in sources as of 2010-04-27.

> It might also be useful to run just the eigs tests themselves
> rather than all of 'make check'
> From the compile tree try:
> ./run-octave -f --eval 'test eigs'

This works; here is the output:

octave$ ./run-octave -f --eval 'test eigs'

  ***** testif HAVE_ARPACK
 d1 = eigs (A, k);
 assert (d1, d0(end:-1:(end-k+1)), 1e-11);
----- skipped test


However, "make check" or "octave> fntests" lead to crash as indicated in the
bug report. I can reproduce the problem on two computers.
