Description ronald.arvidsson 2008-12-12 07:32:33 UTC
Description of problem:

When trying inv(matrix) any square matrice, octave crashes. All .m programs using this facility crashes for me. Including using the form a/matrix.
Error from crash is 

octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3: undefined 
symbol: ATL_dtrsm

possibly bug in atlas library or octave?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

octave-3.0.2-2.fc10.i386
atlas-3.6.0-15.fc10.i386

Additional info:
possibly bug in atlas library instead of octave?

I can't reproduce this with the new 3.0.3 version of octave in updates-testing:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2008-11166

octave: 1> a=[1,1;2,0]
a =

   1   1
   2   0

octave:2> inv(a)
ans =

   0.00000   0.50000
   1.00000  -0.50000

Can you try installing this version, but running as root:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install octave

What's also strange is that octave doesn't actually require the atlas package directly, I do also have lapack-3.1.1-4.fc10.i386 installed which may provide similar functionality.

Hi,

After installing the 3.0.3 version error disapperas.

Thanks, can you add a +1 karma (i.e. "works for me") to the update:
