[Matlab-emacs-discuss] matlab-emacs fails to open a file for edit (2014a)

[Yuval A. <yu...@gm...>]

I downloaded and installed the matlab-emacs project from
http://matlab-emacs.sourceforge.net/ using the dl_emacs_support.m script
and edited my .emacs file according to the instructions.

When I run

    M-x matlab-shell

The matlab shell runs successfully, and the following line is shown:

    >> addpath('/home/lab/yuvval/externals/matlab-emacs/toolbox','-begin');
rehash; emacsinit('emacsclient -n');


However when I try to edit a file ( edit tmp.m), nothing happens. Even no
error messages..


I have access to a linux machine in a different university. When I tried
the same there I got the following error message:

    Error: Environment variable EDITOR is not set.
    Error using edit (line 61)
    "Unknown service"



Does anyone know how to solve it? I would love to be able to edit and debug
matlab code from emacs.

Thanks!
