loadlibrary using default is not working

The Matlab example for loading a library:

loadlibrary ('shrlibsample')

fails with:

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in loadlibrary>getLoadlibraryCompilerConfiguration (line 527)

Error in loadlibrary (line 263)

I'm using the trial version if it matters.

And I did:

addpath(fullfile(matlabroot, 'extern','examples','shrlib'))

before calling loadlibrary(...)

Same issue here. So far any library that I try to loadlibrary fails with "Index exceeds matrix dimensions."

This looks like an installation issue with your compiler (you do have a c compiler installed?). I would first see if the mex command is working and set it up if needed. If that leads nowhere I would contact support, at a minimum a better error message should have been produced.

Thanks for the reply.

I downloaded and installed "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 and then it worked."

hello..philip... i have the same problem.. and iam using windows 10 and Matlab 2015a version. what should i do?

[Walter Roberson]

carlos, I have not heard of anyone getting SDK 7.1 working with MATLAB R2015a on Windows 10. Possibly someone has it working and has not said so or described the method.

For later versions of OS X you have to make some changes to your Matlab setup.

I found that the instructions here worked for me on OS X 10.11.5
