Normalized cuts with Matlab 2013a

I am using the normalized cuts package from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~jshi/software/Ncut_9.zip (on Windows 7)

This used to work fine with Matlab2010a. However I have upgraded to Matlab2013a (32 bit student version) and I now get the following error:

Error using arpackc
Expect 2 output arguments

Error in eigs_new (line 240)
        arpackc( aupdfun, ido, ...

Error in ncut (line 83)
[vbar,s,convergence] =
eigs_new(@mex_w_times_x_symmetric,size(P,1),nbEigenValues,'LA',options,tril(P));

Error in ncutW (line 9)
[NcutEigenvectors,NcutEigenvalues] =
ncut(W,nbcluster);

Error in NcutImage (line 18)
[NcutDiscrete,NcutEigenvectors,NcutEigenvalues]
= ncutW(W,nbSegments);

Error in demoNcutImage (line 25)
[SegLabel,NcutDiscrete,NcutEigenvectors,NcutEigenvalues,W,imageEdges]=
NcutImage(I,nbSegments);

Obviously the new_eigs() function in ncuts is incompatible with the ARPACK version in the latest Matlab.

• Does anybody know of a workaround for this?
• Normalised uses a modified version of Matlab's eigs() function. Why can't I just use Matlab's built-in eigs() instead of eigs_new() (it does seem to work).
