How To Install libparpack2-dbg on Debian 9

In this tutorial we learn how to install libparpack2-dbg on Debian 9. libparpack2-dbg is Parallel subroutines to solve large scale eigenvalue problems (debug)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libparpack2-dbg on Debian 9.

What is libparpack2-dbg

libparpack2-dbg is:

ARPACK software is capable of solving large scale symmetric, nonsymmetric, and generalized eigenproblems from significant application areas. The software is designed to compute a few (k) eigenvalues with user specified features such as those of largest real part or largest magnitude. Storage requirements are on the order of n*k locations. No auxiliary storage is required. A set of Schur basis vectors for the desired k-dimensional eigen-space is computed which is numerically orthogonal to working precision. Numerically accurate eigenvectors are available on request.

This package contains the debugging symbols for libparpack.
