'check-pkg' failed make: *** [check-pkg] Error 1
Thanks for the bug report. This is the first "victim" of the new
version octave-pkg-dev. In this version, unit tests are run in
verbose mode and the check-pkg script exit with a error code when
there are unit test failures.
I will take a look on this.
It seems that many of the unit test failures happen when the function
henon is involved. This function computes the Henon map with a default
transient initial period of 10000 samples. The computation in the henon
function is iterative and my guess is that the results are sensitive to
the architecture-specific floating point representation. Would
-ffloat-store help here?
