RE: arpack in Ubuntu for octave build

[Robinson, Melvin D]

I had this problem and was able to overcome it by creating a symbolic link from 
the library to libarpack.so.  It fixed me right up, so it might be worth a try.

Subject: arpack in Ubuntu for octave build

Hello

I have built octave-3.5.92 on Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit).

The make check reluts are
Summary:

  PASS   9973
  FAIL     29

The above results come from arpack did not detected on my Ubuntu
system.

However, synaptic package manager says that the arpack exist in my system.

$ ls /usr/lib/libarpack*.*
/usr/lib/libarpack.so.2  /usr/lib/libarpack.so.2.1

How can I use arpack for octavebuild on Ubuntu?

Should I build it from source?

Regards

Tatsuro
