 With this option, Octave will use internally 64-bit integers for array dimensions and indexing. However, '''all numerical libraries''' used by Octave will need to use also 64-bit integers for array dimensions and indexing, and in most cases they need to be compiled from source.
-For details about how to compile these libraries please read the [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Compiling-Octave-with-64_002dbit-Indexing.html#Compiling-Octave-with-64_002dbit-Indexing GNU Octave manual], or alternatively you can use [[MXE]] (M Cross Environment) which takes care of the different packages automatically (especially the configure flags <code>--enable-64</code> and <code>--enable-fortran-int64</code>).
