It would be nice if the error message could be related to the VecLoad() call so the error message could say that there is no vector next in the file.
[d3m956@olympus tutorials]$ ./ex12 -f0 myA.dat
This program expects a matrix followed by a vector in the file. You can use -rhs 0 to skip reading the right hand side vector from the file, it will use a vector of all ones.

It said “Read from file failed! Read past end of file!” Anything wrong? I was using the example code without changing anything. Please help me to figure out the problem.
Thanks, Shuangshuang
