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

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #29553 (project octave):

I'm also unable to reproduce this problem after passing --without-arpack to
the configure script.

Can you try running the tests with gdb and see where it crashes?  To do that,
edit the generated test/Makefile file and change the lines

check: test_sparse.m test_bc_overloads.m
        $(top_builddir)/run-octave --norc --silent --no-history 
$(srcdir)/fntests.m
$(srcdir)

to be

check: test_sparse.m test_bc_overloads.m
        $(top_builddir)/run-octave -g --norc --silent --no-history
$(srcdir)/fntests.m $(srcdir)

(i.e., add -g to the run-octave command).  Then run make check again, and
when the "(gdb)" prompt appears, type "run".  When the crash occurs, get a
backtrace with bt and post it here.  Maybe that will give some clues.
