Running command prompt via MATLAB Linux

Hi,

I have a compiler needed to run on MATLAB environment with command prompt of Linux system and I write the code as following;

cmdstr = sprintf('filecompiler')
eval(cmdstr)

However, the is an error as below;

/bin/bash: filecompiler: command not found

I don't know what is it or is it related to location of bash file? Also, my compliler is in the location of /home/nameuser/Desktop and I have set the location of symbolic links in /usr/local/bin/

Thanks Phat

The question is not clear yet.

cmdstr = sprintf('filecompiler')

is the same as

cmdstr = 'filecompiler'

Using this as input to eval tries to access this string as a variable or function. It is not clear why this could cause the posted error, because "/bin/bash" is out of reach when using these commands. Do you mean

system('filecompiler')

? If so, what does "compiler needed to run on MATLAB environment" exactly mean?

What about:

system('/home/nameuser/Desktop/filecompiler')

?

As Jan suggested, I would suggest you to use the system command which executes operating system command and return output. Thank you Jan Simon!

system('path/filecompiler');
