Hello,

I need to use 'eigs' (sparse eigenvalue solver), preferably the one from
SuiteSparse, which I reckon is the fastest.

I am using a Mac G5/Tiger with Xcode 2.5 (gcc-4.0).
fink is configured to build from source using stable and unstable trees.

I used fink to compile octave 3.0.2. During the installing octave,  
octave-atlas
and suitesparse 3.1.0-1 got installed as well. I thought that was all  
that is
needed to have the 'eigs' command in octave, but there isn't one.

I also tried compiling ARPACK from sourceforge, but could not get 'make'
to work at all. My compilation know-how is poor.

Could someone tell me what I need to do to have 'eigs'?

Boaz
