|         I packaged 1.0 for Debian (and Ubuntu). In the meantime, Jaroslav
|         released 1.1 that has those functions. They're not essential, just a
|         nice addition with more optimisations. Octave will work without them.
|         I did prepare a 1.1 Debian package for qrupdate, but at the time there
|         were some ATLAS bugs, and I forgot about it. The bugs have since been
|         fixed, I think, so I should go back to my packaging.
| 
|         Debian right now is going through the final stages of its release
|         cycle, so I won't be able to upload an updated package to unstable.
|         I'll see if I can get someone to upload it to experimental.
| 
|         Or you could forego my Debian packaging and just get the library
|         yourself from http://qrupdate.sf.net if you get impatient for me to
|         update the package. ;-)

|     Thank you Jordi, this makes sense now.  I will be patient. I do not need
|     the function. I was just learning about the compile system and was curious
|     about why it was skipping tests.

| For fun I got the new qrupdate and compiled it and installed it.
| 
| I now get
| 
| #define HAVE_QRUPDATE 1
| #define HAVE_QRUPDATE_LUU 1   // this was missing before
| 
| but when running the tests I get:

What does

  ldd src/.libs/octave

(or maybe that should be src/.libs/lt-octave) tell you?  Is your copy
of Octave actually linked with your new library?
