Matlab in Linux-help with installing additional features needed

hi every1,

I run Ubuntu 10.10 at home and installed Matlab (R2010A) on universtiy licence. I can run Matlab but almost nothing within it (toolboxes, Simulink, GUIDE, etc, even Help), I can't even quit it properly. Everytime I get a message like 'Can't find variable GUIDE' and so on.

Any suggestions?

cheers,

Alex

PS in order to run Matlab I need to connect to the uni server via VPN. The IT guy said I should have access to all the resources on the licence that naturally include toolbox and GUIDE

The fact that you can start MATLAB sounds like the licensing part is working. Please verify running:

license('test','Simulink')

from MATLAB. It should return "1". Also ther VER command shall display Simulink being installed. We need to make sure about both parts, installation and licensing.

I can think of path issues causing all this.

thanks, actually Simulink licence test does return 1, but not everyrthin else (i.e. GUIde, toolboxes etc). Things get more complicated since help doesn't work
