Hi Åke,
I want to add the environment variables to a MATLAB easyconfig which are
needed to run compiled MATLAB programms
I tried
modextravars = {'LM_LICENSE_FILE': '%s@%s' % (license_server_port,
license_server),
'MATLABROOT': '.',
'MCR_HOME': 'MATLABROOT',
'MCR_CACHE_ROOT': '/scratch/$USER/mcr_cache',
}
But when I load the module as a normal user, the variable is not
expanded:
$ echo $MCR_CACHE_ROOT
/scratch/$USER/mcr_cache
Ultimately, I may well just define a general temporary directory such as
TMPDIR=/scratch/tmp/$USER
somewhere in /etc/profile.d, but even then I'd need to have the module
expand $TMPDIR properly.
Cheers,
Loris
