eigs using SuiteSparse

[Ben Abbott]

Boaz,

There are some insructions for installing ARPACK on Mac OSX at the  
like below.

	http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~spk/macosx_install.html

I believe you are already using the Fink package manager, correct? So,  
a nice solution would be to create a local package for arpack. Please  
let me know if you are willing to give that a try. If so I can help  
you get started. Once you are successful it can be submitted to the  
Fink team to be included for the benefit of other Mac users.
