What steps will reproduce the problem? Run the initialization

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version / revision of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Jan11 2012, version 3

Mac OS Lion (10.7.4)

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem seems to appear at the last step of the initialization "Compile mex"

Same problem here

Seems to have the same problem. In my case it failed at glmnet(x,y). So I block out the entired %write glmnetInstalled.m part. For now I'm able to run testPmtk3 to completion.

I appear to have the same problem as well. Mac OS 10.8.2. The dump shows a similar problem.

Same problem.

I also met this problem.

There is a try-catch statement after line "% /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib is missing", but the catch statement fails to catch the error, as the error crashes Matlab.

Solution: we know that glmnet() is failing on Mac, so the catch block should be executed. Replace that try-catch-end block with one line:

installed=false;

And then run initPmtk3 again.

I do not recommend following the solution in comment #2, as the function glmnetInstalled.m will not be created if you comment that block of code completely.
