Summary: We show that there is no classical regular Sturm-Liouville problem on a finite interval whose spectrum consists of infinitely many distinct primes numbers. In particular, this answers in the negative a question raised by Zettl in his book [9]. We also show that there may exist such a problem if the parameter dependence is nonlinear.
