Here is some good news.

I just released a new version [1] called arpack-3.0.tar.gz on the forge
[2].
I uploaded it into the Debian archive [3] and the built when perfectly
fine on all Debian architectures [4] which the new build system.

For information, the Scilab change to use the packaged arpack is pending
into the code review [5].

If you (octave devs) are happy about these changes, please let me know,
I will ping other projects to do the changes too.

Sylvestre
