cvx on a multi user system

[steverweber]

Would like to include cvx in matlab on a multi user system.
So students at our university don't have to preform a manual install.

is there some way to setup cvx so it is globally installed in matlab so all users on our linux server are good to go.

Thanks.

what i tried

# as root
cd /opt
curl http://web.cvxr.com/cvx/cvx-a64.tar.gz | tar -xz

# as someuser
su someuser
cd ~
export MATLABPATH=/opt/cvx:/opt/cvx/builtins:/opt/cvx/commands:/opt/cvx/functions:/opt/cvx/lib:/opt/cvx/structures

matlab

try some code
...
m = 20; n = 10; p = 4;
A = randn(m,n); b = randn(m,1);
C = randn(p,n); d = randn(p,1); e = rand;
cvx_begin
Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.

Error in cvx_global (line 76)
osolvers = cvx___.solvers.list;

Error in cvxprob (line 4)
cvx_global

Error in cvx_begin (line 41)
assignin( 'caller', 'cvx_problem', cvxprob( varargin{:} ) );
... 

alright that failed... run matlab and then cvx_setup

>> cvx_setup

Installation info:

success.

find out that cvx_setup seems to create a file ~/.matlab/cvx_prefs.mat
and that file is needed.

is there some way to install cvx so the users dont need to run cvx_setup for the first run?
