[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#635520: Bug#635520: octave3.2: Octave dies with "panic: Illegal instruction"

[Shan Mignot]

I let apt remove atlas and install lapack and blas in replacement:
> apt-get remove libatlas3gf-base
and it works.

Here is what /proc/cpuinfo (knowing that I run  
linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae) tells me:

processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 8
model name	: Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping	: 1
cpu MHz		: 601.246

fdiv_bug	: no
hlt_bug		: no
f00f_bug	: no
coma_bug	: no
fpu		: yes
fpu_exception	: yes
cpuid level	: 2
wp		: yes

Thanks for your help !
