Hi,
I have recently upgraded to OS X 10.6. This seems to have broken the
MATLAB interface. MATLAB crashes on startup when called through
matlab.eval() (but runs fine if I run it directly through the
Terminal). This occurs for MATLAB 2008b and 2009a.
The root cause seems to be that this line:
os.execv('/Applications/MATLAB_R2009a.app/bin/matlab', ['/Applications/
MATLAB_R2009a.app/bin/matlab', '-nodisplay'])
will happily result in a running version of MATLAB when run through
the OS X built-in python (which is version 2.6.1). However, when the
same command is issued within Sage the resulting MATLAB process
crashes on startup (I've appended the MATLAB output to the end of this
message).
This problem does not occur if matlab in the path is a shell script
which uses ssh localhost to execute MATLAB which is how I am working
around it at the moment (I couldn't get "server=localhost" working for
me but that's probably because I don't understand it).
I am using Sage 4.1.1 binary build for OS X 10.5. I tried building
from source but that failed building readline.
I would be keen to help fix this probably if anyone had any pointers
about what might be going on.
Regards,
Jonny

Please follow these steps to report this problem to The MathWorks so
we
have the best chance of correcting it:
The next time MATLAB is launched under typical usage, a dialog box
will
open to help you send the error log to The MathWorks. Alternatively,
you
can send an e-mail to s...@mathworks.com with the following file
attached:
/Users/jjh/matlab_crash_dump.14842
If the problem is reproducible, please submit a Service Request via:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us/ts/help_request_1.html
A technical support engineer might contact you with further
information.
Thank you for your help. MATLAB may attempt to recover, but even if
recovery appears successful,
we recommend that you save your workspace and restart MATLAB as soon
as possible.
Attempt to restart MATLAB? [y or n]>>
