How to install pymatlab
For a university project i had to deal with a web application written in python and some computations that are matlab based. Of course my webapp was in python so I had to find a library to interact with python. I’ve found pymatlab to be a good library for this goal.
Installing pymatlab was a bit tricky. I had to install matlab on Linux, then install the python-numpy package and then install pymatlab with this sets of commands
sudo -s export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/bin/glnxa64/ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/bin/ export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011a/extern/include/ apt-get install csh pip install pymatlab
Then I was able to run matlab inside my python programs.

Thanks for your advices. Unfortunately they do no longer work with MATLAB R2012a
I changed the version number in the file names, but the following errors occur
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -leng
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmx
It would be great if the tool would be available even for more recent versions of MATLAB.

It seems to be just a linker problem. Or… you can just grab the 2011 version :)
Or… if you don’t have a lot of .mat , just use numpy & scipy. they are much more powerful
There was a Typo. It’s LIBRARY_PATH and not LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Now it should work on matlab 2012 too.
