Hi, Thanks for the quick return on Sunday,

Here is the result of ex1.c that is mentioned in the previous mail, they 
are small indeed, but I was wondering if there were still things I could 
not manage with my pointer allocations/assignments, that is the reason 
why I made a post.

I also attached another valgrind output, This was just to be sure that I 
am coding without leaks. BTW, the program seems to work but there are 
other problems related to eigenvalues I would like to solve for the 
moment...

Best regards,
Umut
