Please INSTALL first VTrails:

  run in Matlab command window: >> INSTALL_VTrails; 

Note: You must have successfully generated the following MEX files:

 - VTF3D_computeGradients2ndOrd_mex.MEXextension
 - VTF3D_configTFSynthesis_mex.MEXextension
 - VTF3D_eigenDecompBlock3D_mex.MEXextension
 - VTF3D_synthTF_mex.MEXextension
 - mxAnisoDistanceTransform4Graph.MEXextension
 - gradient3Dcpp_mex.MEXextension
 - linterp_matlab.MEXextension
 - VTR3D_getPairs2BeEvaluated_mex.MEXextension
 - VTR3D_notUnique_mex.MEXextension
 - VTR3D_repeatedValue_mex.MEXextension
 - VTR3D_repeatedValueSymm_mex.MEXextension

These must all be located in <VTrailsToolkitRootDir>/libs/

Note: If you are experiencing compiling issues or installation problems,
please check the exceptions (ErrorLog.mat) and configure the Matlab coder,
using the most recent gcc or clang (LINUX, MAC, WIN) compiler.
