[vtkusers] Problems with vtk and matlab

[Dominik Szczerba]

Pls keep discussion on list.

Wait a sec, the gcc version complaint is just a warning, the error comes from:

gcc: ...: No such file or directory

What does 'gcc' say typed raw on the command line?

Sounds like a trivial problem to solve (wrong name / path or so).

PS. Do not count on help from the Mathworks here.
