Re: Octave installation problem

[J. Vervoorst]

John and all other members,
I'm still wondering what exactly you mean by your comment below! You talk
about a Fortran interface, am I missing this in my setup? From what I
understand the difference between cheev and cheev_ comes from Fortran
appending an underscore to an interface name. I'm trying to figure out
what's going wrong here and what I need to do to get this problem 
straightened
out! Thanks again for the help, Jan
