Hi @nibaldo_navarro,

Thanks for reporting the error. It seems that there might be some issues with the .p files in your “core” folder. May I ask you to install from the beginning by following the installation instruction here? Please make sure that the path of the installation root does not contain any special symbols. If the problem persists, please provide your operating system and the Matlab version that you are using.

Best,
Xujia
