Re: 3.2.1 release candidate 3

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have at last been successful in building octave-3.2.x with all libraries 
(libraries built myself not
depended on Bebjamin's one ) using GCC-4.3.3-TDM-dw2.

  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octave-3.2.1-rc3\src\data.cc  PASS  500/509  
FAIL 9
  test_string.m .......................................... PASS   78/79   FAIL 1
Summary:

  PASS   5730
  FAIL     10

The aboves are the same that reported Benjamin.
http://www.nabble.com/3.2.1-release-candidate-2-tc24218711.html
See Benjamin's reply

BTW 
I have tested Alexander Mamonov's post

octave.exe:1>  eigs(sparse(diag(1:10)))
ans =

   10.0000
    9.0000
    8.0000
    7.0000
    6.0000
    5.0000

octave.exe:2> clear all
octave.exe:3>

In my case, no crashes happened if use arpack before clear all.  It seems that 
the problem is not
intrinsic to the octave code. Perhaps the bug may come from your building 
environments.
