octave crashes when invoking eig function

[Enrique Argones]

Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

octave3.2 (3.2.4-11ubuntu2)
liblapack3gf (3.3.1-1)

The lapack library seems to be correctly installed, and it passes the tests provided in package liblapack-test.

The expected octave output is a vector with the matrix eigenvalues (eigenvectors are also returned if required). Instead, it reports a symbol lookup error and exits.

Humble suggestion: it seems the octave version Ubuntu 11.10 provides was not built with the right libraries... However, I can not say, I did not build it from sources.

The bug is easily repeatible. I include the output of octave. I hope this report is useful.

Output of octave:
