Using macports on MacOS 10.7.8, rc2 builds fine.  Except for one test that 
always fails for me (trivial error below), all tests pass.

  ***** testif HAVE_ARPACK
 [v1,d1] = eigs(A, k, 'si');
 d1 = diag(d1);
 for i=1:k
  assert(max(abs((A - d1(i)*eye(n))*v1(:,i))),0.,1e-11)
 endfor
!!!!! test failed
assert (max (abs ((A - d1 (i) * eye (n)) * v1 (:, i))),0.,1e-11) expected
0
but got
 3.0465e-11
maximum absolute error 3.04655e-11 exceeds tolerance 1e-11
