Until recently I used export_fig successfully on a Mac. Now I get the following error:

'Pdftops not found. Please locate the program, or install xpdf-tools from ....'

In the window that opens i can localize the Unix executable 'xpdf-pdftops' as well as an alias 'pdftops', which points to 'xpdf-pdftops'. However, they are grayed out and unselectable.

Did anyone experience this problem and found a solution for this?

Thanks in advance Hannes

Just found it today! It was a problem with the dyld library path. Doing the following fixed the problem for me: In terminal type (all on one line)

sudo cp /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib /Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/bin/maci64/libfreetype.6.dylib

Of course, you adapt this line to your situation!

Hope you are successful with that.

I also found the path GUI tool not to work when pdftops was on a different path, and the actual executable was named xpdf-pdftops. The GUI would not accept the symbolic link named pdftops that points to xpdf-pdftops.

To fix this, first find your pdftops installation with the linux command line:

which pdftops

My installation was from MacPorts, which puts binaries in /opt/local/bin .

Prepend your pdftops path to the cell on line 61 of pdftops.m.

paths = {'/opt/local/bin', '/usr/bin/pdftops', '/usr/local/bin/pdftops'};

Only add the path here, not the link or executable filename itself.

Then export_fig -eps works.
