Description of problem: Octave hangs on some eigenvalue calculations. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): octave-2.1.57-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start octave and enter: a=1:5 2.Enter: b=a'*a 3.Enter: [v,l]=eig(b) Actual results: Computer hangs Expected results: The result should be: v = 1.8492e-01 8.9443e-01 -3.8402e-01 1.2348e-02 1.3484e-01 3.6984e-01 -4.4721e-01 -7.6804e-01 2.4695e-02 2.6968e-01 -4.0101e-01 -3.5488e-18 -7.7371e-02 -8.1827e-01 4.0452e-01 6.6458e-01 3.4962e-17 5.0596e-01 -1.0689e-01 5.3936e-01 -4.7598e-01 3.1257e-19 2.5671e-02 5.6413e-01 6.7420e-01 l = -0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 -0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 55.00000 Additional info: The same code works fine in Fedora 1 and in Fedora 2.
Hmm, probably some change octave 2.1.50 and octave-2.1.57.
Happens on 2.1.62...
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?
Yes; I actually tried on 2.1.62 and 2.1.50. I think it's a problem in the lapack library.
I think it's lapack problem.
