Re: [gentoo-user] octave won't run

[Mark Knecht]

Sounds like a ebuild dependency bug, or possibly a bad mix of stable and
non-stable packages that haven't been sussed out fully.

Not a good long-term solution, especially if you're forgetful like me, but
as a test you might try creating a symlink for libapack.so.0 pointing to
libapack.so.3 and see if octave runs.

Best to remove that more or less right away but it might get you through a
test period waiting for the ebuild to get fixed.
