Octave 2.1.57 vecLib Panther 10.3.4

[Samir Sharshar]

Hi,

Please let me report my experience about Octave-2.1.57 compiling and 
installing on a Mac OS 10.3.4 (Panther) with the last development tools 
from Apple that provides the vecLib libraries and headers (a BLAS, 
LAPACK like, as I mean).

I've compiling and installing Octave-2.1.57 from sources with prior 
installation of g77-3.5 and fftw3.0.1-fma.

Octave runs perfectly on my machine; a biG5 at 2 gHz with 4 Go RAM.

However, there is a problem that I can't resolve by myself. Principal 
component analysis runs really slowly (three times less than on a 
equivalent octave installation on a Debian runnng on a PIV 3.2 GHz). 
Things are worst when octave was compiling linking ATLAS libraries 
instead of vecLib ones.

Have you any idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Best wishes,
