MatLab newbie

  1. Hi guys . . .

    I'm new to this Matlab software . . . Right now I'm working on the help menu, you know just going through the tuturiols.


    I keep getting this error, I don't know if it has to do with InternetExplorer or not. (Just so you know I have Jcreator installed but not open on my machine)

    the code:


    Code:
    
    Uncaught error fetching image:
    java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException
    	at ice.net.CachedInputStream.<init>(ice/net/CachedInputStream)

    Hey I'll be keeping this thread going with more questions observations and how MatLab helps with trading!
     
  2. the link you posted is to MATLAB Builder for Java. I just installed Matlab.

    The first thing I did after I noticed the (recurring) error message was go to that website and type it in the search field. I knew that would save some time. But I only got one match, that same link you posted. I read the info there but it doesn't pertain to anything in Matlab as opposed to MATLAB Builder for Java.

    Anyone with experience in this. . it's not a pressing issue . . just every so often if I have a IE window open , this error keeps coming up.

    I'm sure it has something to do with the JCreator/JVM I have installed here. JEEZ it seems like you need a a MSCS just to figure out how Java can screw up anything on your comp.

    I'm sure this is a simple problem I just don't know where to start looking!
     
  3. To note:


    I have the 6.5 version as compared to the new 7.3.
     
  4. anybody?

    i think you can run matlab without java. try that and see.

    you might try python,numpy,scipy as a matlab alternative.
     
  6. Have you tried installing the latest Sun JVM? It is possible to have multiple versions on one machine.
