[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#630160: Install fails with "cannot stat `/usr/src/matlab/dynare-matlab/mex/matlab/*': No such file or directory"

[Pietro Battiston]

Package: dynare-matlab
Severity: important
Tags: wheezy

If I try to install dynare-matlab, I get the output that is at the end of this
report.

Notice that /home/nobackup/matlab/ is the Matlab path: I gave it at some point
in the first install, which failed exactly as this one, though after several
other operations (among which one asking me to register Matlab again with the
license file - and that's what I did).

I'm available for any further testing.
