If it's any consolation, my experience is that "tool integration"
is almost impossible to achieve, in practice... Even if you get
it working once, it will break when something changes...
There is clearly a technical challenge here.

Hi folks,

Thanks for all the advice last week, but I'm throwing in to towel unless
someone has a radically new idea. I installed Matlab 2009a and that also
failed to run the demo, but with a different error message: "Caused by:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program
Files\Kepler-2.3\common-2.3.0\lib\ptolemy\matlab\ptmatlab.dll: The
specified procedure could not be found ...". I also tried R2007b
(mentioned in help files) and had the same result as 2009a. So R2010a
and R2011b error with "...The
operating system cannot run %1" and R2007b and R2009a error with the
above procedure call error, in case that's of any diagnostic value. I
also installed Kepler on a different workstation run WinXP and had the
same issues.

To eliminate potential Java version issues, I wiped Kepler 2.3 and all
the settings files, uninstalled an old version of the JDK I had on the
box (1.6_18), installed a matching JDK to the Java libraries previously
installed (1.6.0_31-b05) and reinstalled Kepler. Same result. I also
added C:\Program Files\Kepler-2.3\common-2.3.0\lib\ptolemy\matlab to the
path (based on Ptolemy Matlab troubleshooting guidelines) but that
didn't help either.

I then tried to follow the build instructions from the url Dan sent,
spending most of the weekend setting up the software and source code and
ironing out cygwin and mingw configurations and dependencies (the
instructions on the reference page are out of date, and the mingw shell
scripts described are not online and no mention is made of what
libraries are needed for cygwin, so I had to guess and reinstall several
times to get what was needed). After climbing down ever darker rabbit
holes I managed to get a working build system set up, but then hit
syntax errors with the .config files (apparently due to line terminator
issues) and never could successfully build a dll.

I concluded that this process is really untenable for someone not
already set up to do Java development and use the entire Kepler build
system, so at this point I rolled back my system and dumped the gig of
software I spent all weekend messing with. So it was an informative, but
ultimately futile, exercise.

Thanks anyway. For my work it will be more productive to generate
delimited files from Kepler and pick them up in Matlab, but I wanted to
kick the tires and see if I could roll our Matlab code into native
workflows. I'm about to rebuild that system using Win7/64 dual booting
with Ubuntu, so I may try again if I feel adventurous.

Your PATH looks ok (assuming you installed Matlab in C:\ and
not the default C:\Program Files). It's possible that ptmatlab.dll
is not compatible with newer versions of Matlab. You can find
instructions on building ptmatlab.dll here:

Hi Derek,

Here you go:

I have several versions of MATLAB on this box for code testing, but I
made sure only one is present in the path each time I tested (currently
2011b). I also confirmed that the target "libmex.dll" is present in
\bin\win32.

I don't have cygwin installed to test Christopher's idea about building
a new .dll, but I may play with that option over the weekend if I get
ambitious. Based on Matt's comment that may ultimately prove necessary
if the problem doesn't come down to path handling.

Thanks for your input.

Sorry this hasn't been easy, and no help from me yet -- I'm trying to
get Matlab and a license for my 32bit XP box so that I can try to
replicate, hopefully on Monday. It seems to me it should work on your
XP box. The last commit message for ptmatlab.dll says it's 32bit:

Interesting to hear about the error on 64bit AMD, sounds like we have
an (additional) problem there.

Can you send your PATH?

No joy under Win7/64 either with a clean install of Kepler 2.3 and
the proper Matlab paths (albeit R2010a 64bit). However this time I
get an error related to running 32bit libraries on the system:

(This is an Intel Core i7, not AMD cpu, BTW).

Sigh. Harder than I'd hoped. Python and R work fine as on WinXP/32 -
the problem is just related to the MatlabExpression actor, which is
what I'm particularly interested in using.

Also, I updated Java to the latest version (1.6.0_31-b05),
uninstalled Kepler, and reinstalled from a full admin account. Same
results. From what I can find on the web, that "The operating system

Anything I can check regarding the Kepler classpath or libraries
come to mind?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, Christopher. I had already perused the mailing list
archives via Google and just saw references to the same issue
without solutions. I confirmed that the JVM bit width is 32 (Java
version 1.6.0_20).

I set up a simpler workflow with just a SDF director,
MatalbExpression actor and text display actor, and configured the
expression: "rand(100,1);", but I got the same error. Here's the
trace from the first time it was invoked, which yielded a little
more info as you indicated, specifically "C:\Program

complete stack dump:
ptolemy.kernel.util.IllegalActionException: There was a problem
invoking the Ptolemy II Matlab interface.
The interface has been tested under Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
The interface requires that Matlab be installed on the local
machine and that the ptmatlab shared library available.
* Under Linux, you must have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable set to include the directories that contain libmx.so and
libptmatlab.so.
* Under Mac OS X, you must have the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable set to include the directories that contain libmx.dylib
and libptmatlab.jnilib.
* Under Windows, you must have your PATH set to include the Matlab
bin/win32 or equivalent directory so that libmex.dll is found and
the directory that contains libptmatlab.dll. In addition, if you
are running under Windows from the Cygwin bash prompt, then you
must start Vergil with the -jni argument: $PTII/bin/vergil -jni.

Hi Wade,
I don't think I have a WinXP installation at hand, but I was able
to run the MatlabExpression demo under Windows Server 2003 with a
32-bit JVM from a clean install of Kepler-2.3. Windows Server 2003
is fairly similar to XP.

To determine the bit width of your JVM, start up Kepler, go to
Tools -> check settings and look at the value of
sun.arch.data.model = 32

When I start a dos shell (Start->Run->cmd), I can start matlab
from the command line, which works for you.
