Comment on libtiff error in Matlab when attempting to use ImageMagick by Shinya

Shinya — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:24:38 +0000

Hi,

I had the same problem with Student version of Matlab R2011a, and OS X 10.7.2
None of the solution above worked for me.

What worked is actually following.

>> !DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=”;/opt/local/bin/convert file1.eps file2.png

You don’t need to change any environmental variables, and symbolic links from default settings. Matlab environmental variable is not altered by this command.
In the normal command line, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set, but it is set in MATLAB. By temporarily removing it, convert can load the library from the appropriate path.

Hope it helps someone.

I have a problem:
after this command:
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk3s1 /Volumes/EXT_HD/

mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (0)

How can I fix it?
Thanks!

However…I get an error:

mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (0)

Thank you so much for this post! I put the command’s in as per your instructions in Terminal and the hard drive mounted after a restart, I was ready to start using data recovery software to retrieve 400GB!

Cannot understand why this info isn’t more readily available on apple sites & forums, I did loads of searches before finding this!

Thanks!

THANK YOU! After two hours of reading unhelpful articles, this finally saved me from Mac compatibility hell. Like you, the FAT32 partition on my Seagate GoFlex 1TB external HD was erroneously listed as NTFS. No idea why – Macs are just rubbish. But it works now after the manual mount so thank you very much for posting this.

Yunita,

Make sure that you first made the mount point with “sudo mkdir /Volumes/EXT_HD”. Also, use the “ls /dev/disk*” command (after plugging in your external hard drive) to determine the drive number – looks like you did and saw it was disk2. Other than those two things, I don’t have much of an idea what could be wrong.

If I’m not mistaken, the little speaker has a diaphragm at the base of the unit inside the hole. So, the problem with the ‘cover it up’ approach is that it will only slightly muffle the sound. You can try it, then let us know how it works!
