[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Can't run Matlab debugger using emacs

[Peter M. <pw...@vz...>]

I've recently started using R2006a MATLAB (winxp (sp2), NT
emacs 21.3.1) and found that I can no longer conveniently use
Emacs to debug MATLAB functions.  When I try to set a
breakpoint from Emacs I get the following error message in the
MATLAB command window:

--- Start of error message ----
Exception in thread "Thread-15"
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "and" 
	at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Integer.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at
com.mathworks.mde.editorexternal.emacs.MCommand.setBreakpoint(MCommand.java:274)

	at
com.mathworks.mde.editorexternal.emacs.MCommandProcessor.run(MCommandProcessor.java:94)
---End of Error message ----

I'm using version 3.0 of matlab.el, from the EmacsLink
directory in my application data\mathworks...\r2006a directory.

I haven't tried backing out the most recent version of
matlab.el yet,  I was kind of waiting to see if there was
something else I should do to be able to use it.

I've been using MATLAB and emacs on Windoze for several years
and would like to continue.

Thanks
