# 2.3 Pitfalls

See also the FAQ (frequently asked questions) 7!

1. When using Winzip, enable Use path information to make sure that subdirectories are created.
2. If you issue the command `"`clear all`"` at the Matlab console, TSTOOL will no longer work properly. As a remedy, simply change to the TSTOOL base directory and issue `"`settspath`"`.
3. TSTOOL will not work with Matlab version prior to 5.2!
4. Matlab 5.2 needs a patch from The Mathworks to work properly under Windows 98
5. It's not a good idea to place the TSTOOL distribution into the Matlab directory. We obtained reports about strange bugs occuring when the TSTOOL distribution is extracted into the directory where the Matlab system is installed.
6. Under Irix there are some version conflicts between Matlab 5.2/5.3 and 6. The extension of the mex-files has changed. Normally this is no problem because the old extension will also work but TSTOOL have own mex-file directories for each system (Sun, Linux, SGI, Windows) named with this mex-file extension. So the path settings `settspath` do can be incorrect for the Irix system. In such case please replace the following line in the `settspath.m` file:

       path(fullfile(TSTOOLpath, fullfile('mex', mexext)), path);

   with this line:

       path(fullfile(TSTOOLpath, fullfile('mex', 'mexsg64')), path);
