[Jacal-discuss] Matfile

[Pjotr Kourzanov]

Dear Jacal developer(s),

I am having trouble reading Matlab v4 files in Jacal (using latest 
Jacal, Slib and Scm 5e5):

> (matfile:read "foo.mat")

;ERROR: "/usr/share/slib/byte.scm": array-ref: Wrong type in arg1
#<CLOSURE bytes "/usr/share/slib/byte.scm": args (list- ...
; in expression: (address@hidden address@hidden address@hidden)

;   (bts)  procedure bytes-copy
; defined by load: "/usr/share/slib/byte.scm"

5; (address@hidden ((ans (address@hidden address@hidden address@hidden)))

6; (address@hidden:read "rxsample.mat")

BTW, I have similar issues with the same versions running under
Bigloo.

Is Matfile supposed to work nowadays? Can someone send a sample v4 file
to check?

Kind regards,
Pjotr
