I was originally getting this error:
"Function "mxGetIr_700" is obsolete in file "compat32.cpp", line 246.
(64-bit mex files using sparse matrices must be rebuilt with the "-largeArrayDims" option. ...)"

But I've still got this problem, even when I compile my GibbsSamplerAT.cpp file with the -largeArrayDims flag.

GibbsSamplerAT.cpp: In function &#8216;void mexFunction(int, mxArray**, int, const mxArray**)&#8217;:
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:265: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:266: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:385: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:386: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:417: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment
GibbsSamplerAT.cpp:418: error: cannot convert &#8216;mwIndex*&#8217; to &#8216;int*&#8217; in assignment

Here are lines 265 and 266:
irad = mxGetIr(prhs[2]);
jcad = mxGetJc(prhs[2]);

, where 'irad' and 'jcad' are defined as *int. I tried casting them to mwIndex*, but got further errors.

Someone at this link http://www.stanford.edu/~dgleich/programs/matlab_bgl/faq.html said to "update to Matlab BGL 2.1 which includes precompiled files for 64-bit linux with support for largeArrayDims included". I have no idea how to do this. I downloaded the BGL, but I have no idea how to install it.

I'm totally stumped. Any help much appreciated.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies.

I managed to solve this problem by simply converting all problematic mwIndex* arrays to int* arrays.

Took me about a day, but at least it works now.
