Trying to download some data using matlab today, I found that my ole mDV stuff doesn't work because its MEX files were built for AMD64...

Tried to rebuild the NDS1 MEX according to 7 year old instructions didn't work; our GCC is 'too' new.

From the Remote Data Access wiki (https://wiki.ligo.org/RemoteAccess/MatlabTools) I got the new 'get_data.m' and 'GWdata.m'. These didn't run, so I updated the nds2-client and matlab-nds2-client on Donatella.

Still doesn't run to get 40m data. It recognizes that we're C1, but throws some java exception error. Maybe it doesn't work on the NDS1 protocol of our framebuilder?

So then I noticed that our NDS2 server on megatron is no longer running...thought it was supposed to run via init.d. Found that the nds2 binary doesn't run because it can't find libframecpp.so.5; maybe this was blown away in some recent upgrade? We do have versions 3, 4, 6, 7, & 8 of this library installed.

So now, after an hour or two, I'm upgrading the nds2 server on megatron (plus a hundred dependencies) as well as getting a newer version of matlab to see if there's some kind of java version issue there.

Of course python still works to get data, but doesn't have any of the wiener filter calculating code that matlab has...
