Strange error using profview

Using MATLAB R2011b on a wintel laptop.

Trying to run the profiler.

Script profiling finishes... and when I click on a function name in the summary window to drill down, I get this:

1. Undefined function 'stricmp' for input arguments of type 'char'.
3. Error in getcallinfo (line 63)
4. if stricmp(exception.identifier,'MATLAB:mtree:input');
6. Error in profview>makefilepage (line 1096)
7. strc = getcallinfo(fullName,'-v7.8');
9. Error in profview (line 71)
10. s = makefilepage(profileInfo,idx,
11. busyLineSortKeyStr2Num(busyLineSortKey));|

any ideas??

Change 'stricmp' to 'strcmp' or 'strcmpi'

Wish I could. It's not in my code. It's here in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011b\toolbox\matlab\codetools\getcallinfo.m

My guess would be that getcallinfo was accidentally edited/corrupted. I recommend re-installing.

Solution: create a new dummy function stricmp.m:

function B=stricmp(varargin) B = strcmpi(varargin{:}); end

I'm also facing some problems because I have a class called 'mtree' that seems to conflict with a variable/function of the same name within the profiler. The profiler has its own 'mtree' function and it is conflicting with my mtree. Now if only MATLAB had a handy refactoring tool, since of course my mtree.m is used throughout dozens of files.
