[ome-users] Matlap trouble "mex -O"

Valentin,

My mex is installed on /Applications/MATLAB701/bin/mex
Look for it under /bin/mex in your MATLAB installation root.

Yeah. Not good. I am actually very happy that the install failed for 
you in such an obvious way. If the failure was more subtle, I don't 
know what I would do. I could never for the life of me guess that 
somebody might want to install Octave just for mex.

I never tried to get OME working with the MATLAB student license. 
That's something I actually would like to look into -- just too busy at 
the moment. I don't know whether the student version includes mex or 
not. Probably, because mex is just a shell script. But you need to find 
out. Without a mex, OME/MATLAB stuff cannot be compiled and installed. 
Look in the directory I suggested, I think your paths might be 
incomplete.
