I continue to have problems with building the bleeding-edge octave sources. Unfortunately the "bus error" I encounter leaves gdb useless to me :-( In a nut shell, I'm unable to execute "A\B" or "mldivide(A,B)" in octave for more than 96 eqns/unknowns. It is has been pointed out that using gcc 4.0.1 (Apple's vecLib) will conflict with gfortran 4.1+, due to type mismatches resulting from how gfortran treats functions. I haven't looked at the detail, but when I googled, "gfortran ff2c type mismatch" quite a bit showed up. The suggested solution is to add "-ff2c" to the fortran compile parameters. I can't vouch for any of this, but if someone can tell me what to change in the atlas.info to pass "-ff2c" to gfortran, I can test suggested solution and report back.
