hi

i switch to a matlab 2008b and now i have error like:


/usr/local/bic/bin/rawtominc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libminc2.so.1: undefined symbol: ncerr

RE: ERROR with matlab 2008b and minc tool
Hi Stéphane,

The problem comes from an incompatibility between Matlab and the MINC tools. Matlab is forcing the use of its own (rather old) version of NetCDF, and you must be using a version of MINC that has been compiled dynamically. When the MINC tools are called from Matlab, they're using an outdated version of Netcf and they crash. A (hack) fix is to replace the Netcdf libraries of Matlab by a symlink to /usr/local/lib/netcdf.so.4 . Unfortunately I don't have any trace of the exact file locations, but that shouldn't be too hard to find.

You will find more details in the following thread :

I hope that you will be able to solve your issue. Best,

Pierre
