[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48018] This .mat file version 5 cannot be loaded in Octave (while it can in Matlab)

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #48018 (project octave):

When you load the mat file in Matlab, are there any special variables types it
is using: tables, structs, cell arrays, etc.

Using the Unix utility 'file' shows something interesting


file efms_0.mat 
efms_0.mat: Matlab v5 mat-file (big endian) version 0x0100


My computer, which uses an Intel CPU, reports "little endian" for any .mat
file I create with Octave.  If there isn't a special variable type being used,
then it might be that the .mat file was created on a big endian machine and is
trying to be read on a little endian one.  Of course, that should be possible,
but it might be an indication of where to look.
