Hi Mohammad,

It seems ln gives this error when the filesystem doesn't support
symbolic links. Is /mnt/e a Windows partition?

To just get past the error (since I guess you won't use "plotslab.m"
anyway), you can do "make -k" or "make -k install", which will keep
going even after errors.

Hope this helps,
