Hi, I bought a new laptop with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). I tried to install MATLAB 6.5 (R13). I faced many problems and I will try to list them in that sequence with the steps that I took to overcome them. However, the final result is that MATLAB fails to launch!
1. When I tried to install MATLAB first time, it said OroborOS X failed to launch XDarwin and therefore it cannot install MATLAB. I have no idea what it means :). Anyways, I went to the Mathworks website and downloaded the patch for Panther w/o realizing that the patch is supposed to work more for their Service Pack 1 release rather than the original R13 release. 2. Mathworks said I need to have X11 installed - so i downloaded X11 from Apple's website and then also used the patch from MathW website to install MATLAB. The installation went smooth. 3. Once I finished installing, I managed to ensure that license server starts up well on bootup. However, the problem I am facing still is this: When I invoke matlab, it says "You are not the owner of Windows Manager process nor you are the root. ...." Therefore Java is not invoked and the command terminates by saying undefined symbols _tgetentr, etc. Then I tried invoking using the Launchmatlab command, which fails to launch matlab saying that /bin/mac/setsid in Line 9 of launch_matlab.sh is not valid since it cannot find setsid. I even ran the MATLAB patch after the installation, and I have no idea what it changed. So my Q. is can I make MATLAB R13 work with Panther or do i HAVE to wait for Service Pack 1. Why does $MATLAB/bin/mac/setsid not exist for Panther? The launch_matlab.sh command carries a line open -a X11 All the solutions that I have seen so far either ask me to get Service Pack 1 or say that MATLAB is now compatible with X11 and therefore I should modify the launch_matlab.sh so that it starts X11. But the version of this shell file that I have does launch X11. Then, where is the problem? If someone can help me in this matter, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you very much for reading this long post with patience! regards arun ------- _____________________________________________________________ Get Your Free ScanMail and Email At http://mail.ttkbharatplanet.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
