Yes, that made it work. (It appears the problem was that I installed the non-dev version: libarpack2-dev automatically creates this link but libarpack2 doesn't.) To prevent others having the same problems, I suggest that the documentation be amended as follows: Details on website: buildrequires libsuitesparse-dev libarpack2-dev Readme file, in place of current "Download" section: DEPENDENCIES ------------ This package is only an Octave binding for ARPACK, and hence requires that ARPACK itself be installed. It also requires libsuitesparse-dev and octave3.0-headers. If your GNU/Linux distribution does not offer ARPACK, it can be obtained as a .deb package from http://packages.debian.org/sid/libarpack2-dev Alternatively, the original source code of ARPACK is available from http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK/, but as it was not originally designed for Linux, you will probably need to edit the configuration file ARmake.inc before compiling it. INSTALLATION ------------ Start Octave, cd to the directory where you saved the package file, and run this command: pkg install arpack-1.0.6.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
