Additional info:
The same code works fine in Fedora 1 and in Fedora 2.

Comment 1 Lon Hohberger 2004-11-15 21:59:07 UTC
Hmm, probably some change octave 2.1.50 and octave-2.1.57.

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2004-11-17 20:59:22 UTC
Happens on 2.1.62...

Comment 3 Ed Friedman 2004-11-18 17:20:11 UTC
It's not so simple as a change in octave between versions.  I tried
removing the 2.1.57 rpm and installed the 2.1.50 rpm and it still
doesn't work on Fedora 3 (but does work on Fedora2).  Could this be a
library problem?


Comment 4 Lon Hohberger 2004-11-18 17:25:05 UTC
Yes; I actually tried on 2.1.62 and 2.1.50.  I think it's a problem in
the lapack library.

Comment 5 Ivana Varekova 2005-01-10 14:59:22 UTC
I think it's lapack problem.
