Failed to install Spectre/RF matlab toolbox

Hello, Thank you for viewing my post. I met a problem when first time use the Spectre/RF Matlab toolbox.

I use MMSIM6.2 and Matlab2010b(32bit), run on 32bit Linux.  Where&How should I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and MATLABPATH?
I try to set them in ~/.cshrc file. The codes are appended to the existing .cshrc file as following:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `cds_root spectre`/tools/dfII/lib:`cds_root spectre`/tools/lib/
setenv MATLABPATH `cds_root spectre`/tools/spectre/matlab

Then I lauch matlab from home directory and type "getenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in matlab window to check the path. It looks ok.
The spectre paths are appended to matlab's own paths. Then I tried the matlab code:

rdir='XXXX/XXXX/XXX/spectre/schematic/psf'
datalist=cds_srr(rdir)

it reports ERROR as following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
??? Invalid MEX-file '/usr/local/apps/cadence/spectre/current/tools/spectre/matlab/cds_innersrr.mexglx':
/usr/local/apps/cadence/spectre/current/tools/spectre/matlab/cds_innersrr.mexglx: undefined symbol:
mxCreateScalarDouble.

Error in ==> cds_srr at 16
sig = cds_innersrr(dirname);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can only find one MEX file in the package for 32bit, that is cds_innersrr.mexglx, all the others are .m files.

"cds_srr" function use "cds_innersrr.mexglx" file, but looks like something wrong with it.
I have no idea how to open .mexglx file and how to check the problem. I appreciate your
help, Thank you!
