[FieldTrip] processing ANT cnt files with FieldTrip

[Dave Britton]

Thanks, Arno,
I've installed the ant-eep import files into the EEGLAB plugin 
directory, but EEGLAB gives me the same error message as I got with 
FieldTrip:

EEGLAB error in function loadeep() at line 75
Invalid MEX-file 
'/home/dave/eeglab11_0_4_3b/plugins/anteeimport1.08/read_eep_cnt.mexa64': libeep.so.3:cannot 
open shared object file:No such file or directory

The libeep.so.3 file is copied into the same directory as the 
read_eep_cnt.mexa64 file.

Do you have any suggestions?
-Dave

The libraries that came with the FieldTrip download did not work as it came from the download, and my investigations led me to what should be the latest version of the ANT import library. I have downloaded the latest ANT eep library, anteepimport1.09/libeep-3.3.167, and run config, make and make install, successfully, but MATLAB cannot find the shared object file it should generate, even when I link the .so.3 file into the same directory as the MATLAB m-file and the MATLAB current directory.
