Description:
The Arch's GNU Octave can't load neither save 16bpp images correctly at the moment.
This defect is most likely caused by the graphicsmagick package's build configuration.
See: http://old.nabble.com/imread%3A-Problems-with-higher-color-depth-images-td26177769.html#a26178488
They suggest that graphicsmagick should be build with 16bits quantum depth.
This is most likely true since
"./configure --help | grep quantum" yields
--with-quantum-depth number of bits in a pixel quantum (default 8)

and there is not a --with-quantum-depth=16 in the PKGBUILD (checked out in ABS) as suggested

Needless to say, Octave will have to be rebuilt after this is fixed.
Additional info:
* package version(s)
graphicsmagick 1.3.7-3
octave 3.2.3-3
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  should work in octave 3.2.4-1 with the new graphicsmagick 1.3.7-2 (the pkgrel counter was reset with the force downgrade from 1.3.8). Please re-open if it does not

Please bump the version of the PKGBUILD to 1.3.12 and fix the configure script invocation suggested in this bug, and it should just work.
And I don't think that Octave will have to be rebuilt after this any more :-)

OK, update - current Octave won't work with graphicsmagick >= 1.3.8
