Ok, I have confirmed that this bug is now fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Saucy Salamander. The latest upload of the lapack library has fixed the problem such that Octave is now able to handle and report the error instead of crashing.
If you can upgrade your system to the development version of Ubuntu or wait until it is released in October, you should see this bug resolved. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport ** Changed in: octave (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156575 Title: octave crashes or exits when lapack error handler xerbla is called To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/octave/+bug/1156575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
