Re: [mlabwrap-user] compile error (linux)

[David T. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

Did some test with mlabwrap1.0a3 today with matlab 7.3
Basically it works!
But I encounter some weird behavior while giving a try...
Will try to report this later this week.
Still mlabwrap looks like a very nice and efficient tool. Big thanks
to the developer(s)

David
