bloc MATLAB function directory error

Hello, I have a little problem with the "MATLAB function" bloc of simulink. I'm using matlab 2011a, I made a very basic circuit, in input of the bloc "MATLAB function" there is a bloc "Repeating Sequence" and in output just a scope. I didn't change the code of fcn bloc. However, when I launch the simulation the following error appear:

The current directory is c:\program files\matlab\r2011a\bin, which is reserved for MATLAB files. Please change your current directory to a writable directory preferably outside of MATLAB installation area

I tried to change the saving directory, but nothing changed, always the same error. Do you have any idea how I could solve this problem?

Thank you,

How can I change current saving directory?

Many thanks in advance.

You can use "cd C:\some\other\path" at the MATLAB prompt to change the current directory.

I get :

>> pwd
ans =
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin
>> !cd
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin 
>> pwd

Even if I saved the file in a other folder ...

[Kaustubha Govind]

You also need to change your MATLAB current directory to the folder containing the file. Use the cd command.

[Kaustubha Govind]

After that, "pwd" should return the folder where your model is saved.

Unable to locate a C-compiler required by Stateflow and MATLAB Function blocks. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported C-compiler.
