[Getfem-users] Problem regarding 64bit + Matlab

[Arvind Ajoy]

Dear Users

Sorry to trouble you with a problem that has already been reported on this list! However, I am unable to solve
the problem using the solution given therein. For reference,
please see Dr  Scorretti 's post here https://mail.gna.org/public/getfem-users/2008-07/msg00002.html

I am trying to compile getfem++-3.1 on a 64 bit Debian system with Matlab-7.4 I get the following error

=========================================================================
??? Function "mxGetIr_700" is obsolete in file "compat32.cpp", line 247.
(64-bit mex files using sparse matrices must be rebuilt with the "-largeArrayDims" option.  
See the R2006b release notes for more details.)

Error in ==> gf_asm at 139
    [varargout{1:nargout}]=gf_matlab('asm',varargin{:});
==========================================================================

I have tried Dr Julien's solution of editing the getfem++/interface/src/matlab/Makefile.am file, doing 
a search&replace of
$(MEX) -output gf_matlab
with
$(MEX) -output gf_matlab -largeArrayDims

I have recompiled after this.

Unfortunately, the problem doesnt seem to get solved.

Can someone help me on this?

Regards
Arvind
