If I continue the chain: renficiaud@madeira3:~$ ls -al /etc/alternatives/matlab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Oct 20 15:32 /etc/alternatives/matlab -> /is/software/matlab/linux/R2014a/bin/matlab renficiaud@madeira3:~$ ls -al /is/software/matlab/linux/R2014a/bin/matlab -r-xr-xr-x 1 stark is 55331 Dec 27 2013 /is/software/matlab/linux/R2014a/bin/matlab r permission are definitively there and the user is allowed to run this command. BTW, I cannot see in the documentation that find_program unwraps symlinks. By myself, I explained the observed behaviour as find_program being blind to symlinks. > >> you propose to merge the variables MATLAB_USER_ROOT and >> Matlab_ROOT_DIR, is that correct? > > Yes.
