Matlab 64bit installation on Linux (Ubuntu)

[m-pas]

First of all let me thank everyone for all the work done to make Refprop available on Linux.
I installed librefprop following the instructions and successfully ran the Fortran test. Then I tried to do the matlab integration (Matlab R2015b 64bit). I ran make matlab and again followed the instructions. The next step is where I ran into problems.
Running sudo make matlab-install results in:

mv ./matlab/refpropm.m ./matlab/rp_proto64.m /opt/refprop
mv ./matlab/librefprop_thunk_glnxa64.so /opt/refprop
chmod /opt/refprop/*.m /opt/refprop/*.so
chmod: invalid mode: ‘/opt/refprop/refpropm.m’
Try 'chmod --help' for more information.
make: *** [matlab-install] Error 1

However, upon re-running sudo make matlab-install I get a different feedback:

Every helpful input is greatly appreciated!

The good news is that I will be ready to share pretty soon an improved
workflow for building the REFPROP .so file, which should work for all
versions of REFPROP without any modifications. It is CMake based.

MATLAB also has the ability to read a header instead of dealing with these
thunk files, which will make loading the shared library far more stable on
other platforms. If you are willing to be a beta tester, please email me

Hey All,
I am now having the exact same issue with exactly the same error. However, I did have it working at first! Then I wanted to move refprop into my home and after I cleaned everything I couldn't get it to work with MATLAB again. I am using 2016a.

Did you manage to get it working?
Kind Regards,
Adam

Did you get an answer? You might be able to contact @ianhbell and participate in his beta testing sessions.

As it turns out, I have a fully working build system now in REFPROP-cmake. A bit of beta testing might not go amiss, but it builds and tests fine for me in MATLAB on OS X and linux.
