Student Matlab R2010a from Command Line in Snow Leopard
Matthew
I need to call matlab from the command line.
When I type
matlab
in X11
I get
bash-3.2$ matlab
matlab: No MATLAB bin directory for this machine architecture.
ARCH = maci64
It appears that Matlab student version only has 32 bit, not 64 bit.
Is there a workaround for this or do I need to buy a year site license.
I qualify for student, but if I had to I could buy the yearly site license at my school (it would cost alot more over 3-4 years though). I don't need it to run in 64 bit mode, I just need it to be called from the command line. Is there something I can put in my .bashrc?
Thank You very much

Try starting it with
matlab -maci
to force the 32 bit version to start on the 64 bit OS. I haven't tried
it, but it seems like it should work.

The solution works, I was actually about to post...When you start the gui version of matlab it sayes -maci, so I used that and it works. Thank you very much.

Is there a slick way to setup my .bashrc to so that every time it calls matlab it automatically calls matlab -maci ? I use a program called SCIRun that has a matlab interface and it is graphical. Every time I open one of my nets I would have to go and and manually edit that module, which is painful. I would never use it as anything other than matlab -maci so setting it globally seems like the way to go. I have tried in .bashrc:
export matlab=matlab -maci
But this doesn't work. I will keep searching, but if any unix gurus have a good solution please let me know...

Figured it out:
alias matlab='matlab -maci'
in your .bashrc
I hope this helps some other folks using Matlab Student Version from the command line...
