the compatibility with matlab 7.0?

[yaling]

Dear All,

The matlab 6.5.0 (student version) didn't work too. I got the same error msg.
And, I tried matlab 7.0, still didn't work. :shock:

Does anyone know whether or not BrainStorm work on 7.0? :oops:
Which version exactly would work?

Thank you so much for your help.

Best,
yaling

Hi Yaling,

sorry for replying so late.

BrainStorm was not tested under Matlab 7.0 yet.

However, I'm surprised you're getting error messages under Matlab 6.5, which we're currently using while waiting for our next move onto 7.0 shortly.

please post the error message you're getting.

Cheers.

IMPORTANT!


Your Matlab version 6.5.0.180913a (R13) has known problems with fseek and ftell.
See
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-1A2W2.html
and
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-19NOK.html?solution=1-19NOK
Binary I/O in BrainStorm may be unreliable.
Recommend you upgrade to 6.5.1 (R13.1)

Right -

The latest version of BrainStorm works with Matlab 7+. However this should only impede GUI usage; scripts should still be compatible with 6.5 for the most part.

See http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/showthread.php?p=257#post257 for an example.

(All, please note the two year jump from the original posting).

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please uprgrade to Matlab 7. We have tried to keep things 6.5 compatible, but that no longer seems practical. The .fig formats and the .mat formats changed between the versions, and although some backwards compatibility is possible, it's been tedious to keep track of all of the files.

Also note that Mathworks had many issues with 7.0.0, so please try to upgrade to the latest (e.g. 7.0.4, and the latest is R2006a).

Also recommend you obtain the Developer's version of BrainStorm from our web page,

I expect we will shortly replace the "Stable" version with the most recent "Developers".

I've had Java 1.5 working (when I don't change the environment, that is it's still 1.5) but it seems MATLAB doesn't recognise 1.6... The MATLAB version doesn't seem to be the latest: Version 7.0.4.352 (R14) Service Pack 2 January 29, 2005 is that the problem? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version to handle 1.6? I don't own this software, I'm using it at a University lab... Should I get the department to upgrade the version? Would that be sufficent? I've told them I needed Java 1.6 and all they did was tell me how to change (using setenv()) but maybe this isn't enough?
