Hi, I'm using Cygwin to run Matlab 6.5 remotely off a unix server. I'm using the ssh command to connect to the server. Here is a good tutorial on what SHOULD happen when doing this, which I have been following:
http://remus.rutgers.edu/~xmi/cs323/remote_matlab.htm I am able to run Matlab if I just type "matlab" at the command prompt, but it then enters matlab in the SAME window as the command prompt, not in a new window...ie, it doesn't have any of the nice windowed command structure that is displayed if you use Matlab on a real windows install. At a previous institution, I was able to use Matlab in its full windowed environment remotely using Exceed by typing "matlab &" at the command prompt, which then opened it in a new window with all the lovely file structure. However, using Cygwin, if I type "matlab &" it opens the Matlab load (er, splash?) screen, and hangs there for all eternity, never fully opening the program. There must be something set wrong, but I have no idea what it is. While I can technically run matlab using the command prompt window, I can't use the editor, or the graphical variable structure interface, or the graphical help window, etc in this mode. My Sygwin version was updated on Feb 7th, 2007, and is version: 2.510.2.2 Matlab version 6.5.0.180913a I am aware my Matlab version is not the latest version, I am on a university campus using a site lisence and do not have the authority to simply go and buy the newest version. I did search through the Cygwin mailing list and did not find anyone else who had this problem. There was a similar problem to this posted on the Matlab help archives, but it was found using PC-Xware: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-175G9.html?1-175G9 (see "Problem 3") and appears to be an issue with how the colors are drawn on the screen, though I don't have any idea how to tweak this in Cygwin.
