First, the fact that fem_test runs and calculates the right 
answer (it would complain if it didn't) means that most
sparse methods are working.

The memory error is comming from octave - not my code but 
I wouldn't be suprised if it indicates a segfault ...

I'm at a loss to explain why you needed dtrsv.c in the C_BLAS.
Most of the BLAS functions provided with SuperLU are already
part of octave, and you only need to include a few of them.

Here is my octave build config.

RedHat 6.0
octave-2.1.30

  C compiler:           gcc  -mieee-fp -g -O2 -Wall
  C++ compiler:         c++  -mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall
  Fortran compiler:     g77 -O
  Fortran libraries:     -lg2c -lm
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66
-L/usr/i386-redhat-linux/lib -lm
  Use GNU readline:     true
  Default pager:        less
  gnuplot:              gnuplot

  Do internal array bounds checking:       false
  Build static libraries:                  true
  Build shared libraries:                  true
  Minimal kernel option:                   true
  Dynamic Linking (dlopen/dlsym):          true
  Dynamic Linking (shl_load/shl_findsym):  false
  Include support for GNU readline:        true

Here are the build sizes of my functions
An:~/octave/sparse> ls -l libsuperlu.a make_sparse.oct 
-rw-rw-r--   1 andy     andy       137908 May 11 23:18 libsuperlu.a

(PS. I've moved this discussion to help-octave since I don't
think that octave-sources is supposed to be for discussions)
