Follow-up Comment #5:

SLATEC is a great resource, but completely unsupported.  Special functions,
like erf(), are available from the Netlib repository either in
netlib.org/slatec/fnlib or in netlib.org/fn.  I found the following comment at
www.netlib.org/slatec.


lib     fnlib
for     the FNLIB subset of SLATEC
# removed from slatec/src to make the main source more accessible
# see also /netlib/fn, which is another version;  we don't really
# know which one is more recent or bug-free.  If you figure it out
# please send email to address@hidden


Clearly there is a lot of confusion.

To resolve this I am just going to patch Octave's Fortran source to be correct
and not attempt to resolve the upstream repository issues.  The fix was done
in this changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d213da1a16a6).
