integer type is defined as 64 bit on x86-64, but dgesv_ expects 32 bit

[Zed]

Binary package hint: libf2c2

I try to run the function dgesv_ in lapack. It compiles, links and runs, but the output is wrong.

In the lapack manual it says that it expects data of type integer array (arguments of type "integer *").
f2c.h defines integer as long int, which on x86-64 is 64 bit.

When I look at an integer array filled by dgesv_, it is clear that the integers are 32 bit. When I change the definition of integer in f2c.h to int, the function works.

Not sure if the error is in f2c.h, or in the lapack build.
I use liblapack3gf 3.1.1-0.3ubuntu2.

That is fixed in 20061008-4.1 in Debian unstable (the problem was in f2c.h). Please sync.

It's a bug in libf2c2, not in lapack3

Debian fixed version appears to have been synced.
