What were you trying to do?
Start up the default version of Matlab
What's wrong:
Matlab v5.0 and v5.1 no longer check for ~/matlab and
don't add that directory to the MATLABPATH.
Thus my startup.m file never gets run either.
This was a very handy convenience that would be nice
to re-add to the Matlab startup scripts.
What should have happened:
It should check for pre-existence of the MATLABPATH
environment variable, or check for ~/matlab and put
that in the MATLABPATH first.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
