[Boost-users] Lapack Bindings

Hi,

I wanted to use boost and lapack-bindings in order to do standard numerics 
stuff (LU, QR, eigenvals, eigenvectors, svd).
There is the geev.hpp but I couldn't get it to run  (I'm using VC++ 7.1 and 
get the run-time error "** On entry to DGEEV , parameter number 13 had an 
illegal value"). The lu-stuff also failed with VC++ until I added a 
#include<assert.h>.

Has anybody gotten all of the bindings to run with MS VC++.NET 7.1?

And also there's almost no documentation for these functions. Does anybody 
have extended documentation or example programs for the eigenvalues and qr 
(or other lapack-bindings-stuff)?

What about the future of the bindings, is there someone actively extending 
it? Is it actually worth using boost ublas/lapack-bindings or is there a 
better alternative? (TNT/JAMA, blitz, gmm,...)

Thanks for your help,
Franz
