PABLO/XPABLO Codes

Compiling PABLO (for Unix/Linux systems)

Requirements

• You work under Linux or Solaris (Compiling for Windows is not supported)
• You will need a C compiler with support for complex numbers
  (e.g., gcc >= 3 or Sun Studio >= 9).
• A working Fortran 77 compiler (Fortran 90 may be required in the future)
• Perl and Matlab

Instructions

• Unpack tuconf and pablo in the same parent directory:
        gzip -d -c <tar-gz-file> | tar -xvf -
  or on Linux:
        tar xvfz <file>
  There is no need to rename the directories.
• Compile tuconf (run `./configure' and `make' in the tuconf directory. You can run some sanity tests with make check.
• Compile pablo in the same way (run ./configure and make in the pablo directory)

If no errors occured you should have a pablo MEX file (pablo.<mexext>) and the help file pablo.m in your pablo directory. You can copy the MEX file and the help file to a location convenient to you.

Known Problems

• If you run pablo (no parameters, no return values) on the Matlab prompt you should just get an error message that more input values are required. If you get an error message that the MEX file can not be loaded, please contact me.
  If no message appears or if Matlab aborts after printing a message, there is most likely an incompatibility between the versions of the system libraries used by Matlab and the versions your MEX file is compiled against. There are several Tech-Notes related to this kind of problems, which is very common on Linux systems. The actions described in http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-QBCS1.html?product=CO&solution=1-QBCS1 worked for me on several Linux systems.

More about MEX files

MEX files are Matlab functions written in C (or Fortran), for more information see also http://www.mathworks.com/support/tech-notes/1600/1605.html. The file extension of a MEX file (mexext) varies with the system it is supposed to run on:
