RHBA-2014:0296 - suitesparse bug fix update

Synopsis

suitesparse bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated suitesparse packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The suitesparse packages are a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse matrices.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the suitesparse-devel packages did not include the C++ header files. Consequently, users were prevented from compiling C++ programs that used the suitesparse packages. With this update, the suitesparse-devel spec file has been fixed and the header files are now included in the packages as expected. (BZ# 1001869)

Users of suitesparse are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
