Hi Shady,
Thanks for the bug report / pull request / help. Your suggestion is very welcome. The error is actually happening inside of CONN's error-handling routines and it is arising because the not-installed-SPM condition is being checked a bit too early (before other CONN initialization routines have had a chance to run). As a more general fix I would suggest perhaps try adding the line:
right before the "[str,PrimaryMessage]=conn_errormessage(me,filename,0,CONN_x.ver);" line in conn.m. That should allow CONN's error-handing routines to take care of this scenario normally. Let me know if that would also seem to work.
Thanks again
Alfonso

if ~isfield(CONN_x,'ver'),
CONN_x.ver='undetermined'; end
right before the "[str,PrimaryMessage]=conn_errormessage(me,filename,0,CONN_x.ver);" line in conn.m. That should allow CONN's error-handing routines to take care of this scenario normally. Let me know if that would also seem to work.

Hello,
Conn isn't git version controlled (as far as I know) so I would like to submit a 'pull request' through the forum. I noticed a minor bug when launching Conn on a computer without SPM installed. The splash screen hangs up and a non-descriptive error message pops up in the command window:
Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.
Error in conn (line 8701)
[str,PrimaryMessage]=conn_errormessage(me,filename,0,CONN_x.ver)
I wasn't able to really figure out why Conn wouldn't launch until I spit out the contents of the 'me' variable. I added the following line
error('conn:conn:spminstall',me.message);
on line 8701 of conn.m and now MATLAB prints out an error message telling you exactly what is wrong:
Error using conn (line 8701)
INSTALLATION PROBLEM. Please re-install SPM and try again
