MATLAB: Name Conflict Warning

name conflictstartup

Dear all,

When starting matlab R2010b, I see warning messages, one of which is shown as follows. I have many of this kind of messages with different file names, but don't understand why. Any suggestion to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

Warning: Function C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b\toolbox\local\ja\license.m has the same name as a MATLAB builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict.

I would look at your path

path

as well as your matlab root

 matlabroot

Have you added the directories twice?

MATLAB: Do I get “same name as a MATLAB builtin” warnings on startup

This issue could arise due to multiple reasons some of which are summarized below:

Multiple MATLAB installations on the system path. On Windows, for example, having an installation of MATLAB directly under C:\ and also under C:\Program Files\MATLAB\ . A possible resolution will be removing the installation files under C:\.
Presence of MATLAB installation files in D:\ or F:\ drive and instead of D:\MATLAB or F:\MATLAB.
Presence of functions which are generating these warnings on your path. These files are there to provide Japanese language help (note the /ja/ directory they are contained in). It is likely that this /ja/ directory was added to your path accidentally or maybe by another user. To correct these warnings execute the following commands

rmpath('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008b\toolbox\matlab\randfun\ja\')
savepath

When you restart MATLAB, the warning messages should not be displayed.

MATLAB: Multiple Warnings on MATLAB startup

On having this issue,

Kindly execute the following commands on startup. This should solve the issue.

restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache
savepath

The "restoredefaultpath" command restores the search path to it's factory installed state
"rehash toolboxcache" updates the list of known files and classes for all directories on the search path and also updates the cache file
"savepath" saves the current search path
