Thanks for this message which pointed out a remaining bug in the Matlab interface to MPTK. The GenerDict.m script from Mat2MPTK generates dictionary description files in an old format not compatible with the latest version of MPTK. We will fix this as soon as possible, but meanwhile you can try the new suite of MEX utilities, including

dictcreate_gui : to create a valid dictionary file using a graphical interface

GettingStarted.m : to guide you through the main functions of the MEX utilities.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Remi.

Hello

mptk ERROR -- MPTK_Env_c::get_configuration_file() - Could not find MPTK Env variable with path to config file.
mptk ERROR -- MPTK_Env_c::load_environment() - couldn't load the MPTK environment

This means that the environment variables MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME is not set, this there for help about how to add environment variables:

mptk ERROR -- MP_Dict_c::load_xml_file(const char* fName) - Error while loading the dictionary file [/Applications/mtlb/toolbox/Wavelab850/Dict/default.xml].
mptk ERROR -- MP_Dict_c::load_xml_file(const char* fName) - Error ID: 7 .
mptk ERROR -- MP_Dict_c::load_xml_file(const char* fName) - Error description: Error reading Attributes. .

This means that MPTK cannot read some attributes in the Xml files, the files may no bet complient with strict XML syntax.

Hope it will help.

Cheers.

Benjamin.

Hello, Could you please be more precise on what's happen when you try to run MPTK under Matlab using Mat2MPTKdemo ? Regards. Benjamin

I can't get this thing to work with Matlab. Is there a completes idiots guide to installing this? I installed all the things in the instructions but when I run demo Mat2MPTKdemo.m it doesn't work. I'm on a macbook. any help (again)? I will send u beer! or money or whatever! thanks chris
