octave-arpack @1.0.8 build failure

[sean_stromsten@…]

Tried with compiler options (configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2, configure.compiler=gcc-4.2) suggested on hotlist, but that didn't help.

There were no informative (to me) messages:

The errors in the log are:

This seems to have disappeared from Octave-Forge. I notice the octave port depends on arpack, so could this code have been integrated into the main octave distribution?

Yes, this code was integrated into Octave; I've deprecated (but not removed) it in r114034.
