Patch to lapack.spec
Patch to lapack.spec to fix the problem.
Thank you for your notice. The problem was fixed. IV The -O2 is "safe" optimization and should work. (It used to with previous versions of gcc.) In my opinion the actual issue is that gcc-3.4 is not ISO-compliant with regard to excessive presision. I think that reducing optimization helps here is purely fortuous. The fix would be to add -ffloat-store flag to FFLAGS and keep -O2. See bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138791 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138683 I still think that this is a gcc issue. Sincerely, Dmitri. Solved with -27, closing now. *** Bug 139404 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 146447 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Could this be released as an update to FC3, please? Thanks. Especially since this has been dropped from FC4, and so "upgrade to FC4" will never be a solution, and since there is already a corrected package, making it work in FC3 seems like the right thing to do. Given the "is broken" status and the several dups, I'm going to take the liberty of reopening this. This bug is still present in Fedora Core 3. A scientific application that uses lapack stopped working in FC3. This is a very serious bug, since Linux is only good for scientific applications and most of them use lapack. RedHat gave up on scientists (they dropped lapack from upcoming FC4 release). In a mean time you can get a working copy from: ftp://coffee.phys.unm.edu/pub/octave/RPMS/i386/ Dmitri. -- Dmitri -- lapack isn't gone. It's in Fedora Extras now. However, it'd still be nice for there to be an update for FC3. this bug has been fixed in the latest lapack-3.0-26.fc3 update Cool, thank you very very much, Red Hat folks. The new fc3 version lapack-3.0-26.fc3 fixes this problem (and two other bugs) in fc3. Thank you for your notice. Ivana Varekova Not to harass, but will there be an announcement mail for the fc3 update? It is very helpful to end-users when every update that appears in the tree has a matching mail message. Thanks! Got the announcement. Thank you again! I hope this puts "Red Hat gave up on scientists" to rest. |
