To turn off these (worthless) messages, try this:
(%i1) load(linearalgebra)$
(%i2) put(infolevel, false, linearalgebra)$
(%i3) m : matrix([1,2],[2,1])$
(%i4) eigens_by_jacobi(m);
(%o4)
[[-1.0,3.0],matrix([0.70710678118655,0.70710678118655],[-0.70710678118655,0.70710678118655])]
You'll need to load linearalgebra before the 'put.' Since the functions
in linearalgebra autoload, you'll need to manually load linearalgebra
before
the 'put.' I think I'll entirely eliminate the messages from
eigens_by_jacobi.
