Details

Description:

I got a very informative e-mail from Saleh Bawazeer, letting me know that the current version of arpack has an issue with the eigs function, that the next (unreleased) version has fixed.

This is with octave and arpack 3.5.0:

Command/steps to reproduce:

./bootstrap && rm -r .build && mkdir .build && cd .build && ../configure --prefix=/home/sas/octave/4.2.1/ --without-osmesa

Output:

WARNING: ARPACK library found, but does not seem to work properly; disabling eigs function

Tests fail:

scripts/sparse/eigs.m ....................................... PASS 6/6
(missing feature) SKIP 173

scripts/sparse/gmres.m ...................................... PASS 16/16
.....

PASS 14736
FAIL 3
XFAIL (reported bug) 31
XFAIL (expected failure) 6
SKIP (missing feature) 217
SKIP (run-time condition) 12

With arpack 3.6.0 this does not happen, but 3.6.0 has not been released yet.

The arpack package has now been updated, so if octave is rebuilt, this is likely to be fixed.
This task depends upon

Updated arpack to use the latest commit while waiting for the 3.6.0 release. This should fix the issue in arpack.
