[Neurodebian-users] Dependency trouble with matlab-psychtoolbox-3

[ella wufong]

hi!

i'm attempting to get an Ubuntu + MATLAB + Psychtoolbox installation up and running for the very first time, as per this thread on the Psychtoolbox forums:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PSYCHTOOLBOX/conversations/topics/17908

i have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit installed, and MATLAB 2014a 64 bit.

using the NeuroDebian repo i have also installed octave-psychtoolbox-3. so far so good.

Mario then pointed me towards installing the matlab-psychtoolbox-3 package, however this is where i am stuck:


sudo apt-get install matlab-psychtoolbox-3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 matlab-psychtoolbox-3 : Depends: matlab-psychtoolbox-3-nonfree (= 3.0.11.20140705-1~nd+1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

and if i then try:

sudo apt-get install matlab-psychtoolbox-3-nonfree
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 matlab-psychtoolbox-3-nonfree : Depends: libglew1.9 but it is not installable
                                 Recommends: libfreenect0.1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


i'm guessing that this means that the matlab-psychtoolbox-3 package is currently out-of-date?

any help with getting this to work would be much appreciated. amongst the researchers that i work with, i'm trying to lead the charge towards Linux and eventually Octave...

thanks!
