Re: [Getfem-users] Problem installing getfem toolbox for Matlab 7.1

[Mirko Windhoff]

Dear Arvind,

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -largeArrayDims
as your version of mex doesn't understand the option "-largeArrayDims"
it seems like it passes it to the linker as a filename. Remove it from
the mex line.
Then also run make check to see whether the warnings did harm.
If they did, you could try to remove them using the old file.
If it works one could add the typedefs with an #ifdef and remove the
-largeArrayDims option depending on the Matlab version.
