Thread Subject: error message while running engdemo in linux

Hello,
I need to compile a matlab engine program in linux. When I successful compile the example program engdemo.c and run "!engdemo", I have the follow error message:

/bin/bash: engdemo: command not found

Alternatively, I run it in c shell and have the follow error message:

matlab: Command not found.
Can't start MATLAB engine

Anyone can tell me the solution?

Sounds like engdemo isn't in your search path. If you were in the directory where engdemo existed, then try this form: !./engdemo

Unix won't run things in the current directory automatically unless you explicitly put "." in the search path.

Just do a check with the "ls -ls" command to make sure that "engdemo" is where you think it is and has executable permission.
