Hi Martin, At last it worked!
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am so glad it works! Just for the benefit of future users of MATLAB R13 on Panther, this is what I did (hopefully it will work for you): 1. I downloaded the panther update and used the first-time instllation patch, which I ran as soon as I loaded the MATLAB CD. 2. It asked for X11, which I did not have. So i went and downloaded it from Apple's website. Then it finished the installation smoothly. 3. Then I ran the Panther update patch, which is supposed to be actually used for Service Pack 1 and /or Student Version of R13. 4. When I tried to start matlab, it gave me a couple of problems - one related to the starting of Window manager (and Java VM) and the other related to some undefined symbols. 5. As per Martin's suggestion, I downloaded the Jaguar update patch (from TMW website) and ran only the Patch that is supposed to be run after the MATLAB installation. Just followed the instructions, and the patch was smooth. 6. I tried to run MATLAB from the command line of the terminal - it just closed and vanished! how many times I ever tried. I tried the launchmatlab icon - the first time it did not work.. but the next time, it just launched properly! 7. Now it works like a charm.. I guess the problem with typing from the Terminal Application was that MATLAB required X11 to be running and Terminal does not belong to the X11 installation. I say this because I typed matlab from the XTERM of X11 and Matlab launches correctly. Thanks once again for all your help. regards arun -------- Original Message -------- >From : "Martin Costabel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" To : Arun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject : Re: [Fink-beginners] MATLAB R13 (not service pack 1) & Panther Date : Mon, 12 Jan 2004 01:26:31 +0100 >Arun wrote: > >> Hi Martin, >> >> Thank you very much for your kind response. >> >> I checked the matlab script on my m/c and it turns out that the check for window >> manager process has not been commented.
