Error when using guide

Hello All,

I am a new user of matlab and would like to work on a short project using the guide functionality. However, when go through the guide quick start I am met with the following errors

   ??? Error using ==> copyfile

Error in ==> guidetemplate>processDialogResult
at 164
                    copyfile(srcfigfile,
                    targetfigfile,
                    'writable');

Error in ==> guidetemplate>dialogCallback at

                processDialogResult(quickstartpanel); 
Warning: Error occurred while evaluating

I am using Matlab R2009b on Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks, Jamie

Please have a look at this previous discussion: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/8201-couldn-t-run-codegen-under-matlab . It deals with a different copyfile problem, but along the way it provides information as to what copyfile is doing that might help you debug your problem.
