Dear all

I have compiled sac with matlab libraries on my laptop. as it was mentioned
in sac files, I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the folder that contains
libeng.so. I read a sac file into sac but when I use mat I got this error

SAC> mat
Error: /usr/local/matlab/bin/glnxa64/libeng.so: undefined symbol:
engPutArray
ERROR 8003: Cannot link to a MATLAB function: engPutArray
ERROR 8003: Cannot link to a MATLAB function: engPutArray

does anybody knows how to solve this problem. I think some functions in
matlab have been changed a long time ago!!!? Does it mean that sac
developers do not believe in developing matlab files in sac/src/mat
directory? or ...

    Dear Reza Mansouri,

    The Matlab support was added more than a decade ago and has limited functionality. Unless there is need from the community for this interoperability I am tempted to deprecate and remove it as it is difficult to maintain.

    ** If you would like to keep this interoperability around and help to maintain it, I need to know. **

    If you would like to use SAC files directly in Matlab, there are a set of contributed read and write routines in the sac/utils directory.
