By the way,<br><br>If that can help anybody finalizing the Nelder-Mead algorithm, I saw something that looks like a bug to me. Although I was unable to run the fminsearch function to its end, I saw that for the initial iteration (ie. the iteration 0), more than one function evaluations are reported... this is weird, the cost or objective function (however your want to call it) should only be evaluated once, ie using the initial guesses of the parameters to optimize.<br>

</div>It is maybe a packaging bug in the nightly build. We will have a look on<br>
this.<br>
If you install the package HDF5. It might work.<br>

</div>It is probably a different naming of the jar file under Opensuse.<br>
You can try to unpack the opensuse package, you will find some patches and<br>
there are some<br>
patches which change the name of the jar file.<br>
