Re: GNU Octave 3.4.0 Released (Mac OSX?)

[Thane Norton]

I was unclear. The Accelerate framework was launched when f2c was the standard 
Fortran for OSX, so it used the calling conventions from that for its BLAS and 
LAPACK. gfortran, by default, uses a newer convention, but can be told to use 
the f2c convention with the -ff2c flag. My info is gathered from here:

I used gfortran 4.5.0 downloaded off the gfortran site. FYI: I just saw the 
comments from January about using -m32 to compile. I will be trying that 
tonight. I would try it now, but my work setup is different enough that my old 
instructions don't work. I can't go into details, but none of you will have to 
worry about those problems for many months.
