Missing file/directory for arpack-1.0.6 |

Hello,
I am trying to install ARPACK for Octave.app on a Mac (G5 PPC Tiger).
I am following the steps in this thread:
https://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2007-November.txt
I downloaded arpack-1.0.6.tar.gz from octave-forge and unpacked it to
~/octave/arpack-1.0.6
I downloaded the ARPACK source from http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/
ARPACK/, compiled it, and moved libarpack.a to ~/octave/arpack-1.0.6/
In the subsequent make process, arpack-1.0.6/inst/svds.m calls for
eigs.m, which I gather is supposed to be created using eigs.oct.
According to the thread above for arpack-1.0.2, eigs.oct is under
powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.1-api-v29.
arpack-1.0.2 had the following directory structure:
> [~/octave/arpack-1.0.2] -bash-2.05b 517$ ls
> doc powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.1-
api-v29
> packinfo svds.m
However, arpack-1.0.6 has a different directory structure:
% du -d1
48 ./doc
16 ./inst
3232 ./src
Apparently powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.1-api-v29 disappeared and with it
eigs.oct.
Is this a problem in the octave-forge distribution package?
