The latest MATLAB for Linux needs Linux kernel of version 2.2.x and libc.so.6. I installed linux_base6.1 on FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE and cheated the install program of MATLAB. I could install everything, but when I run MATLAB, it gives the following message before opening a window, ??? MATLAB was unable to open the pseudo-tty master device /dev/ptmx. The unix() and ! commands will not work in this MATLAB session. Other commands which depend upon unix() and ! will also fail. Please check with your system administrator and confirm that this device exists with the proper permissions. Finally it opens a window, and I can use MATLAB, but I cannot close the window, and cannot quit but have to kill the process. I am sure latest MATLAB needs /dev/ptmx for managing the tty, but I don't know how to realize it on FreeBSD. If anyone gives me a hint, it helps me a lot. thanks, /)\ Shiro Ikeda o o "Information and Human Activity", PRESTO, JST - Lab. for Mathematical Neuroscience, RIKEN BSI To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
