engdemo.c program: can't start matlab engine

Mohammad Hasan — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 12:57:01 -0500

I was trying to run the engdemo.c program in ubuntu OS
It compiled fine, but can't start the matlab engine. It just
print the msg:

Can't start Matlab Engine.

My matlab works fine from command prompt, just by typing
matlab and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also defined perfectly.

Can any one help me please. Thank you very mush for your
help.

Hello,

I solved my problem by contacting Matlab technical support
team. The problem is that you need to have C shell installed
in your system as /bin/csh for the matlab engine program
to function correctly. You can use any shell, but just that
C shell has to be there in the system so that the engine
program can use it.

Once I had installed csh, everything is working fine.
Just letting you know, in case anyone encounters same
problem.

Thanks to all who had viewed the thread.

OK, how do I go about installing the C shell as /bin/csh?

TIA

In ubuntu, just do:

sudo apt-get install csh. By default c-shell is installed
in /bin/csh.
