Commit b3def69: GUIs works with MCR, but MATLAB giving new errors

[janamach]

While looking into the #5 issue, new errors occurred with MATLAB after installing the updated software. The exact same installation works with MCR, but not with MATLAB it gives new errors:

Edit: the errors are the same between the commits, the difference that confused me that with the second command MATLAB did not attempt to load a GUI. Please ignore this thread for now.

[asafgal]

Totally my fault here (the graph-explorer issue), I was careless with patching this issue. Try now.

[janamach]

By 'Try now' you mean pulling from the debug-jana branch, right?

I did not notice a difference in terms of performance with MCR, with MATLAB it looks the same locally and loads normally remotely. I think #5 is the real issue here...

To re-iterate, this error occurs locally:

And this is the normal output when ran remotely with ssh -X:

I think this issue is redundant with #5. Sorry for starting it - I thought I saw a new error...

[asafgal]

No, you are absolutely right - when patching the issue for mcr I broke the same functionality with full matlab. Pull & try again now.

[janamach]

This is so confusing...

Pull & try again now.

It does not complain anymore when I run it locally, so your last commit fixed the issue.

What is extremely confusing is that

• It never stopped working through ssh -X
• The GUI still doesn't work locally with MATLAB (#5 )

Anyway, thank you for fixing this issue. This discrepancy between local and ssh got me so confused I wasn't sure if the errors I saw were "real" :)

[asafgal]

Thank you for helping improve anTraX! Hopefully it will justify the effort :-)

[janamach]

Thank you for helping :-)
