Hi Paola, I can't tell from the output what went wrong. One thing that may be going wrong is that you might not have the matlab binary in your path. From a terminal, type 'which matlab' (no quotes). Also, please don't send logs and error messages in rtf or doc formats -- it makes it harder for us to read! thanks
