[Matlab-emacs-discuss] File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

[Alan <ora...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use just the matlab.el file for editing code. However,
if I use any version >= 3.3.0 (corresponding to revision number >=
1.14), I get the following error:

File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

whenever I try to open a .m file in emacs. This happens with emacs
versions 21 and 23.

Has this happened to anyone before? Know of any fixes?

Thanks for your help,

Alan
