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

Sat Jun 11 20:47:53 UTC 2011

Hi,

Obviously something went wrong during the compilation of the MEX
files. As you can see in the log you reported, there is a log of this
compilation step in /tmp (here
/tmp/dynare-matlab-mexbuild-1307810418.xAD9dV4 in your case). Please
post this log, it probably contains the explanation of your problem.

If this log has been deleted, you can regenerate it with
"dpkg-reconfigure dynare-matlab".

Best,
