Strange "solve" error and undefined "vpasolve"

Hi,
When trying to use the "solve" function for one of the doc examples it only returns the sym variable. It doesn't even solve the equation x+1==0, when using the syntax:
syms x
solvex=solve(x+1==0,x)
it only returns solvex=x. Even worse, it does not even recognize vpasolve as a function and gives the error: "Undefined function or variable 'vpasolve'". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
/Philip

Is it possible that at some point you installed the Maplesoft MATLAB Connector, which is an interface that permits MATLAB to call into Maple ?
Yes, I would say that's highly possible!

This may be a path problem.
Try typing these either in your Command Window or a script:
restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache
If that does not solve your problem, request Tech Support through the Contact Us link at the top right corner of this page.

Worked like a charm. Thank you!
As always, my pleasure!
I solved this kind of problem using:
syms z
before the solver command.
Ex.:
syms z
Sol = solve(fA == 0, fB == 0);
Justifying: Matlab needs treat z symbolic in order to handle the different solutions.
@Francisco Lopes — That wasn’t actually the original problem.

You should write:

S = vpasolve(...)

Without assignment it won't work.

The original problem was that the user had installed the Maplesoft Maple symbolic interface, which does not define a function named vpasolve . Requiring output for an undefined function does not fix the problem that the function is undefined.
