I am getting the message: 'MANPATH: Undefined variable' when I run a shell command within Matlab such as 'ls'. What does this mean and how can I correct this? I am running Matlab in Mac OS-X.
Thanks, S

MANPATH defines where the Linux or Unix manual (man) pages are found.
On Linux by default MANPATH isn't used because of the /etc/man.config
setup. (Type "man man" for more detailon MANPATH).

You might modify MANPATH's variable to be in accordance to your
filesystem. I have absolutely no knowledge of Mac OS, but this is
often done by exporting, or, more generally, by setting an environment
variable. These keywords might be useful for you for Googling out.

HTH.
