Looks good Writing Makefile for Math-Matlab Most of the tests for the Server and Remote classes of the the Math::Matlab package are not run by default. In order to test them, you will need to set up a server according to the instructions in the INSTALL file, then edit the 'server.config' file with the appropriate values and re-run 'make test'. -- OK Running make test test -- NOT OK Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
