Description
There is a new version of arpack. It will be required by the next octave release and several other projects:
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng/
This project is a joint project between Debian, Octave and Scilab in order to provide a common and maintained version of arpack.
Indeed, no single release has been published by Rice university for the last few years and since many software (Octave, Scilab, R, Matlab...) forked it and implemented their own modifications, arpack-ng aims to tackle this by providing a common repository and maintained versions.
arpack-ng is replacing arpack in Debian & Ubuntu. Fink, Fedora and Redhat are currently doing the same move.

Can you create a Portfile patch? The current version of the Portfile is rather intricate, due to the simple build system in the old version. There are several variants for using the built-in LAPACK vs. ATLAS, different fortran compilers, MPI version. It would be nice if all this could be supported by arpack-ng.

No, sorry, I hardly know what a build system is. The Portfile and patch looks complicated. I can calculate the checksums if that helps. Regarding the compilers, it should not be an issue with arpack-ng. If it is, then it's IMHO still better to have a new version with many fixed bugs but fewer compiler options.

- Cc takeshi added
I attached a Portfile for the new version of arpack. I don't know if it builds universal binaries or if it works with the g95 compiler. I don't quite understand how the universal binary-related code works in the Portfile. Maybe takeshi can have a look?

The attached file works fine with +g95 and +g95 +mpi. I think openmpi would be a better variant name.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Committed in r88594. I rebuilt gcc45 as a universal binary and the universal variant of arpack should also work correctly. I added a gcc46 variant as well. Finally, I renamed the mph variant to openmpi as takeshi suggested.

Thank you very much! I've just built arpack @3.0.2_0+accelerate+gcc45 successfully on 10.6.
Best regards,
Lukas
