[Aces-support] [Fwd: RE: matlab bug report]

[Ed Hill]

Hi folks,

Heres the latest from The MathWorks in regards to the Fedora Core 2
problem.  The "-nojvm -nojit" combination seems to work better for me
and perhaps it will be an improvement for some other people?

I've added some notes to the acesgrid.org web pages.

Ed
