Problem with gaoptimset in unix

I have a problem runing my code in unix although the same code is running in windows. The error i get is the following: "Undefined function or method 'gaoptimset' for input arguments of type 'function_hundle' ". Then i type help gaoptimset and get the message "gaoptimset not found". Does anyone know what the problem might be?

The GAOPTIMSET function is installed with Global Optimization Toolbox. Do you have that product installed? You can check with products you have installed by executing:

ver

Yes, i see that Global Optimization Toolbox version 3.2 is installed

The tech note below suggests some possible causes for this type of error:

I'd suggest you check that you have the correct files installed (look for gaoptimset.m on disk) and also that your MATLAB path has the toolbox folders listed.

Had a similar problem and would not have even thought to check what was installed if not for this answer. Thanks Jacob!
