This should be compiled with

mkoctfile eigs.cc -larpack

however don't bother as I have come a long way since that version. The 
original version was sent in an attempt to get someone to help me 
develop further the ARPACK interface, which didn't get that much response.

I'll send what I have for eigs to you offline.
