[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Setup installation problem with MATLAB 2009 in ubuntu 12.04

[André L. T. R. <and...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to run this MATLAB configuration to no avail.  It cannot start
MATLAB from emacs despite having the menu setup correctly.  The MATLAB/bin
directory is in the path variable too.  My .emacs is below.

;; MATLAB mode

;; Turn off Matlab desktop
(setq matlab-shell-command-switches '("-nojvm"))
;; ;; Add local lisp folder to load-path
(setq load-path (append load-path (list "~/elisp")))
;; Add matlab location
(add-to-list 'load-path "/opt/MATLAB_2009/bin")
;; Replace path below to be where your matlab.el file is.
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/matlab-emacs")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el")

(autoload 'matlab-mode "matlab" "Enter MATLAB mode." t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.m\\'" . matlab-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(autoload 'matlab-shell "matlab" "Interactive MATLAB mode." t)

;; User Level customizations (You need not use them all):
(setq matlab-indent-function-body t)  ; if you want function bodies indented
(setq matlab-verify-on-save-flag nil) ; turn off auto-verify on save
(defun my-matlab-mode-hook ()
  (setq fill-column 76))        ; where auto-fill should wrap
(add-hook 'matlab-mode-hook 'my-matlab-mode-hook)
(defun my-matlab-shell-mode-hook ()
  '())
(add-hook 'matlab-shell-mode-hook 'my-matlab-shell-mode-hook)

Thanks for any help!
