[ome-users] Matlap trouble

[T. J. Macura]

Hey Valentin,

> I am using Debian 3.1 with 2.6.8 kernel.
We don't "support" Debian in so far as we don't have it installed and  
don't test on it.
You can read what Ilya Goldberg has to say about Debian and OME support  
for it:
	http://lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk/pipermail/ome-devel/2005-August/ 
000493.html

Some people were getting OME to install on certain versions of Debian  
without incident. I am glad to help you fix things, but I am just  
explaining why thinks don't always work out-of-the-box.

This is good to know. I suspect that the -l/-f etc. flags are now  
unnecessary. If they are needed I will have to add some OS specific  
logic there argh !

Is this from CVS? I fixed this very bug in CVS. Please try from CVS and  
modify the su there as you did here.
If you don't want to use CVS maybe we could work around this installer  
bug. However, the MATLAB/OME connection in CVS is completely different  
than the connection in 2.4.0. So many bugs you encounter with the  
Matlab Handler (that's the part of  the Analysis Engine that executes  
Matlab OME Analysis Modules) in OME 2.4.0, will not be relevant.
