Hi, everyone  
In windows, the GMT works fine in Matlab. I am wondering that could the GMT MATLAB interface be used under Linux?  
Because I will move some of my Matlab codes to the Linux system. So, I have this question.

We have had info that it works well on Linux as well. There was even a post (perhaps in the old forum) describing the compilation steps but basically it should be what we have in the `gmtmex` makefile.
