Undefined function or method

Hello everyone, I am new on MATLAB and today I try to reproduce the demo given on Bioinformatics toolbox namely "Investigating the Bird Flu Virus". But whenever I used 'featuresparse' function as given in the demo it returns "Undefined function or method 'featuresparse' for input arguments of type 'struct'". same error appears with some other functions as well (viz. 'getgenbank' function). Maybe it's a too simple question to ask, but I am totally clueless. I am sure anyone of u will help me in this. Thanks in advance.

Uptal, You can also try the following:

restoredefaultpath; matlabrc

then see if that corrects your problem.

I am having the same problem as Utpal and this did not fix it. The ver command says I have the bioinformatics toolbox installed, and license('test','bioinformatics_toolbox') returns a 1. But still, after inputting the above command, which -all featuresparse returns "'featuresparse' not found"

Any idea how I can fix this?

It sounds like the Bioinformatics Toolbox is not installed on your machine, or not properly installed.

If you enter

>>ver

at the command prompt, do you see the Bioinformatics Toolbox in the list of products?

Also, does the command:

>>license('test','bioinformatics_toolbox')

return a 1, or 0?

Thanks for helping... when i used ver i couldnot find Bioinformatics toolbox, and the licence commands yields 1.

[Wayne King]

The license command gives 1, but you do not see it in the output of ver??? are you sure?

See Walter's answer, what version are you using?

[Utpal Bakshi]

yes wayne.. i also found bioinfo toolbox folder on my program file.. is there any way to manually set it up?

[Utpal Bakshi]

i am using matlab version 7.9

[Wayne King]

try

>>rehash toolbox

[Walter Roberson]

featuresparse appeared in the toolbox for R2006b and has been there since. If you are using that version or newer, please use

ver

to check whether it thinks you have a license for the bioinformatics toolbox, and please use

which -all featuresparse

to see whether it can locate the file.

[Utpal Bakshi]

thanks walter.. but i do not get bioinformatics toolbox with ver command .. and which -all featuresparse can not locate it says 'featuresparse' not found.
