error, from octave call GLPK

[Marius Schamschula]

Jack (and Jack),

Since this is the second request for this issue within 24 hours, let  
me point out a workaround and a solution.

The workaround:

Downgrade glpk to version 4.31. Newer versions of glpk (4.24 is  
current) don't work with octave 3.0.3.

The solution:

Get a newer version of octave. I understand, this problem has been  
patched in the developer sources.

I personally use the workaround in my Mac OS X builds of octave.
