I did add Arpack and I got this log:

Which version of Julia are you using? If you are not using the official binaries, could you try them and report if it works?

[ViralBShah]

I am on 0.7 master. Should I try the alpha?

[andreasnoack]

Nightly should also be fine. The important detail is if it is our binaries or if you have built it. There are some ABI issues mainly related to libgfortran.

[ViralBShah]

Worked fine with the 0.7-alpha I downloaded.

[blakejohnson]

I'm also seeing this issue when building from source on macOS.

[andreasnoack]

Please see #5 for some possible solutions beyond using official binaries.
