Installing this package fixed this error, but I now have a new one: it can't find -larpack. Where does it expect this to be installed? This error occurs both with the ARPACK directory in my home directory (the ARPACK default) and with it in the same directory as the package file. > Isn't the relevant question if the binary distributed by Debian is > compiled against suitesparse?

The Ubuntu package octave3.0 depends on libsuitesparse, but octave3.0-headers doesn't depend on libsuitesparse-dev.
