ocatave-3-3.53's umfpack/arpack blindside

[sibu xolo]

Greetings,

I am new to this list.  I tried the users-list without success so I came here.  
I am sttempting to compile octave-3.3.53 (testing)  on a computer with these:-

----cpu  amd64 2cores
----o/s cblfs linux 64-bit only (compiled from sources) kernel-2.6.32 
gcc-4.4.2
----blas atlas3.9.32 SuiteSparse-3.4.0 lapack-3.2.2 arpac-0.92 (autoconf'ed)


Both SuiteSparse and arpac are  compiled to give  shared and statc libs and 
linked to  atlas and lapack libraries.  

----------------They are available at the locations shown below:-
rt [ ~ ]# ls -l /home/rt/ArpackTEST3/lib
total 1000
-rw-r--r-- 1 rt users 662720 Nov 16 23:46 libarpack.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rt users     14 Nov 16 23:46 libarpack.so -> libarpack.so.9
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rt users 350904 Nov 16 23:46 libarpack.so.0.9.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rt users     18 Nov 16 23:46 libarpack.so.9 -> libarpack.so.0.9.2
rt [ ~ ]# 


rt [ ~ ]# ls -l  /usr/local/algebra/lib/libumfpack*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 Nov 17 12:49 usr/local/algebra/lib/libumfpack.so 
-> libumfpack.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 Nov 17 12:49 
usr/local/algebra/lib/libumfpack.so.5 -> libumfpack.so.5.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 708862 Nov 17 12:44 
usr/local/algebra/lib/libumfpack.so.5.2.0
rt [ ~ ]# 
rt [ ~ ]# ls -l  /usr/local/algebra/static_lib/libumfpack*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1328178 Nov 17 12:45 
usr/local/algebra/static_lib/libumfpack.a
rt [ ~ ]# 
--------------------------

I  then   ran the configure script  for octave-3.3.53 with the folowing 
switches:-

--with-umfpack-includedir=/usr/local/algebra/include \
--with-umfpack-libdir=/usr/local/algebra/static_lib \
--with-arpack-libdir=/home/rt/ArpackTEST3/lib \
--with-arpack-includedir=/home/rt/ArpackTEST3/include


---------------------it responded  as shown below:-
configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found.  This will result in some lack of 
functionality for sparse matrices.
configure: WARNING: ARPACK not found.  The eigs function will be disabled.
-----------------------


The rest of the SparseSuite components including libcholmod are found  but not 
umfpack.  Also if arpac is compiled and not linked to atlas   it is  'found'.
  I am wondering if there is a problem of octave-3.3.63 using  libraries 
already linked to atlas and lapack (compiled with gfortan) and if so if there 
is a fix upstream or otherwise.

I  want to have  octave   compiled with umfpack and arpack functionality  and 
linked to BLAS and LAPACK libraries so advice would be appreciated.
