You haven't provided very much information about what you mean by not 
getting a result. Does octave simply stop responding? I think this calls 
a LAPACK routine, so if it stops responding, you may have the LAPACK bug 
that hit Fedora Core 3 a few months ago (though it could really be 
considered a gcc bug). Try something like eig(rand(10)) to see if it 
also hangs octave. If so, you should report the lapack problem to SuSE.
