This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
This is a bug in the MATLAB 6.5 (R13) Interface to Shared Libraries in the way that it handles spaces before the semi-colon at the end of a structure declaration in the header file. Our development staff is investigating this issue.
Currently, to work around this issue, try removing the spaces before the semi-colon at the end of structure declarations.
