Re: Missing libmx.so

[David Grundberg]

It's hard to make out what the problem could be, especially since I 
don't have your source files. Send the complete error messages. Are you 
compiling with warnings enabled? What version are you running? Now for 
the standard library debugging: What does ldd mexfile say? What does nm 
mexfile | grep mxErrMsgTxt say?
