Thread Subject:

path frustration

I'm using Matlab on Linux with a shared license type situation. Somehow every time I start Matlab it populates the path and userpath with dozens of directories, some of which are causing warnings. I'm looking all over the place and I can't see where matlab is finding this stuff. If I clean up the path and save it to a pathdef.m, then start again from that directory, it does not help.

Userpath in particular is frustrating me because I can't clear it and it is always filled with nonsense that is causing warnings. Userpath('clear') does absolutely nothing. Userpath(<what I want>) simply prepends <what I want> to the front of the nonsense.

Can anyone make sense of this for me? How does matlab decide what to put in userpath, and the rest of the path for that matter?
