Hi,
I am using MATLAB for Linux on FreeBSD, and got a problem. The latest
MATLAB for Linux needs Linux kernel of version 2.2.x and libc.so.6. I
installed linux_base6.1 on FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE and cheated the install
program of MATLAB. I could install everything, but when I run MATLAB,
it gives the following message before opening a window,
??? MATLAB was unable to open the pseudo-tty master device /dev/ptmx.
The unix() and ! commands will not work in this MATLAB session. Other
commands which depend upon unix() and ! will also fail. Please check
with your system administrator and confirm that this device exists with
the proper permissions.
Finally it opens a window, and I can use MATLAB, but I cannot close
the window, and cannot quit but have to kill the process. I am sure
latest MATLAB needs /dev/ptmx for managing the tty, but I don't know
how to realize it on FreeBSD. If anyone gives me a hint, it helps me a
lot.
thanks,
