Wrong results while solving for eign vectors!

[psing51]

i am trying to use the dsyev routine. Now i modified your default example slightly by solving for matrix:

2,1,3,
1,2,3,
3,3,20	

i am getting :
Eigenvalues
   1.00   2.00  21.00
Eigenvectors (stored columnwise)
   0.71   0.69   0.16
  -0.71   0.69   0.16
   0.00  -0.23   0.97

i again tried with vector:
1,2
2,1

 Eigenvalues
  -1.00   3.00
Eigenvectors (stored columnwise)
  -0.71   0.71
   0.71   0.71

eign values are fine , but why eign vectors are wrong !
according to this and this the eign vectors should have been :
[-1 , 1 , 0] , [-3,-3,1] , [1,1,6]
and [1,-1] , [1,1]

   LAPACKE_dsyev Example.
   ======================

   Program computes all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric
   matrix A:

     1.96  -6.49  -0.47  -7.20  -0.65
    -6.49   3.80  -6.39   1.50  -6.34
    -0.47  -6.39   4.17  -1.51   2.67
    -7.20   1.50  -1.51   5.70   1.80
    -0.65  -6.34   2.67   1.80  -7.10

   Description.
   ============

   The routine computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of an
   n-by-n real symmetric matrix A. The eigenvector v(j) of A satisfies

   A*v(j) = lambda(j)*v(j)

   where lambda(j) is its eigenvalue. The computed eigenvectors are
   orthonormal.

Please define "wrong eigenvector". Did you forget that if A.x = λx, it is also true that A.y = λy, where y = c.x, with c a scalar multiplier? The eigenvectors (that you reported as those that were given by Lapack) happen to be scaled so that they have norm = 1, but other choices are equally valid.
