Hello
I wrote about this subject some month ago, but just now I
found out that the problem occurs also with more recent
versions of comint.el.
The problem I describe occur for
xemacs.21.4.21-mule -vanilla
xemacs.21.5.29b -vanilla
The issue is the following. Matlab is commercial product
provided by Mathworks. If I am not mistaken it is released
every 6 month. There is a lisp package, matlab.el, now
maintained by Eric Ludlam, which helps editing matlab files
but also allow to connect to the matlab engine via
matlab-shell and it also allows to debug (In a way similar
to the emacs shell command). The current version of matlab is
3.3.1.
Now comes the issue:
When I use an older version of matlab (release 2004) I have
no problem to use the matlab-shell command.
When I use a more recent version (release 2008, newer
version I don't have), then there is the following problem.
When I use comint.el from xemacs-base 2.10, everything is
fine.
But if I use either an older or a newer comint version, say
from xemacs-base 2.19, then the matlab-shell command tries
to start matlab but then I obtain an error
M-Shell aborted
There is no bugtrace and I have no idea how to debug it.
There are a lot of changes between these two comint.el
version so I don't know how to track down this error.
Can anybody who knows about the recent changes in comint.el
help me, because I would like that more recent versions of
xemacs-base would allow xemacs users to use matlab, right
now they have to downgrade the comint.el version which is
not a good solution.
regards
Uwe Brauer
