Type and version:	POWER 7.7E
Display type:		colorgda

Any bugs reported here seemed to be confined to the RS6000 version of Matlab.
Specifically the rsaixbin directory.


1. There is no cmex or fmex.  There is cmex41 and fmex41 but I think there
   should be a cmex and fmex file/symlink.

2. cmex41 does not run properly.  cmex41 is a symlink

   cmex41 -> ../Matlab4.1/bin/cmex

   The problem is that the cmex script gets its current working directory
   based upon where the actual file is located (i.e. Matlab4.1/bin).  It
   then sets the shell variable MATLAB to this directory.  Matlab defines the
   shell variable MATLAB as the "Matlab root directory".  In reality, the
   Matlab root directory is Matlab4.1.  Because of this error, the following
   other shell variables are incorrectly set:

   SOURCED_DIR='$MATLAB/bin'
   MEX_INCLUDE_DIR=$MATLAB/extern/include
   MEX_LIB_DIR=$MATLAB/extern/lib/$Arch
   
   The net result is that Matlab is unable to find the proper header files and
   libraries.
