Thanks Rune,
It follows the command and the error:
mex '-f' /home/catalanom/Scrivania/provaF/engopts.sh FortranChiamaMatlabSubII.F90
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/libgfortranbegin.a(fmain.o): In function `main':
(.text+0x23): undefined reference to `MAIN__'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mex: link of 'FortranChiamaMatlabSubII' failed.
??? Error using ==> mex
Unable to complete successfully
It seems it asks a main program for the function A, while I have to set it as a subroutine mexfunction()
Why i get this error?
Michele
