How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

   glpk([1],[1],[0])
3. press enter
  
Actual results:
octave:1> glpk([1],[1],[0])
octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/octave/3.0.3/oct/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/__glpk__.oct: undefined symbol: _glp_lib_fault_hook

Comment 1 Alex Lancaster 2009-09-07 05:36:32 UTC
I can reproduce this on F-11:  octave-3.0.5-1.fc11.x86_64

> glpk([1],[1],[0])
octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/octave/3.0.5/oct/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/__glpk__.oct: undefined symbol: _glp_lib_fault_hook

This may be fixed by octave 3.2 but it will be a while before that is backported to F-11, probably.  I'll look into how Debian fixed it.

Comment 2 Rakesh Pandit 2009-09-24 07:16:46 UTC
I can also reproduce it on F10 and F11

octave:1> glpk([1],[1],[0])
octave: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/octave/3.0.3/oct/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/__glpk__.oct: undefined symbol: _glp_lib_fault_hook

Will check with importing the patch or looking around ..

Thanks,

Fixes it for me too.  Can you visit the bodhi update:

login and give it a positive karma point if it fixes it for you too?
