hey james,
so nils forwarded me an email from you about some
experimentation
you did with other versions of matlab. specifically
7.0.0.19901 where
you were seeing the following error message:
---<8---
-bash-2.05b# /usr/local/matlab.R14/bin/matlab
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.
---<8---
i was wondering if you could try running this version again,
but
before you do set the following environment variables:
export LX_DEBUG=1
export LX_DEBUG_FILE=/tmp/matlab.log
this will generate a log file: /tmp/matlab.log, if you could
send me this
file that would probably help me figure out what matlab is
trying to
do with pseudo terminals that isn't working. (note that
the log file
might be pretty large so you might want to send it to me
directly.)
fyi, /dev/ptmx definatly exists in an lx brand zone and
matlab should
able to open it. what caught my uese is the "support
fpr pts in
/proc/filesystems" part. i'm wondering if they are
trying to access
something in here that we are not emulating correctly.
it's also possible that your just hitting a known bug:
6455308 streams autopush pre-allocates all autopush entries
basically, this bug will cause opens of /dev/ptmx to fail if
you
already have a lot of logins to lx branded zones on your
system.
(where "a lot" is system dependant but probably
somewhere above 20.)

Mathworks but they have not been to helpful. Not worried
about the fontset since the error does not show up with
-nodisplay, so I figure this is not the problem.
