yes I realise that and we do that. The issue is that
1. MATLAB6.5 and SPM2 crash on Linux 2.6 kernels (MATLAB 6.5 is not
officially supported on Linux 2.6 kernels)
at our Lab (binary distribution - we will try to rebuild the
compiled code but the problems
appear to be in GUI-related stuff)
2. It is not clear to me yet (I have evidence both ways) if SPM2 can be
operated correctly with MATLAB7 (which does run and is
supported on 2.6 kernels)
3.Our hosts are evolving to 2.6 kernels as machines are updated.
4. Users who have started analysis with SPM2 prefer to stick with
SPM2 for that project
If SPM2/MATLAB is a good combination, this resolves our problem.
