Why do I receive a warning or error when using MATLAB Compiler?

I am using the MATLAB Compiler and receive the following error:

 Warning: No matching builtin function available for $MATLAB/toolbox/simulink/simulink/set_param.bi

(where $MATLAB = the MATLAB root directory on my machine)

Why is this?

SET_PARAM is a SIMULINK function that is not supported by MATLAB Compiler. For details on which products are supported by MATLAB Compiler see the following web page:

In certain cases you may get a warning/error message regarding SET_PARAM not being found when using MATLAB Compiler 4.0 (R14) even when you have not used this function in your code. This has been verified as a bug in the MATLAB Compiler 4.0 (R14). This bug has been fixed for MATLAB Compiler 4.1 (R14SP1). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

To resolve this issue, you should modify the following file:

$MATLAB/toolbox/compiler/deploy/matlabrc.m

(where $MATLAB = the MATLAB root directory on your machine)

Comment out the following lines (numbers 81 and 82) that have a call to SET_PARAM.

   set_param(0,'PaperType',defaultpaper);

   set_param(0,'PaperUnits',defaultunits);

When you are finished, save these changes and issue the following command at the MATLAB command prompt:
