Re: octave eigs function

[Poulette Poulette]

I installed the octave-devel +atlas+docs through macports (I already have Xcode, Xquartz, etc...).

"port installed" gives : arpack @3.1.2_1+accelerate+gcc47+openmpi (active)

Thus I suppose Arpack to be installed...

Thanks

How did you install it, Mme Poulette?

You only need eigs if you're working with sparse matrices or if you
only want a few eigenvalues of your matrix. Otherwise you can use eig.

However you obtained Octave, it looks like you compiled it without
ARPACK. You need to recompile Octave with ARPACK support.
