This is MeX Version 1.05 18 XII 1993 (B. Jackowski & M. Ry\'cko) ! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in vertical mode.

Anyone who knows how to deal with it? Thanks Advanced!

Which "compile_linux" is that? Which software are you compiling? Which MATLAB version are you using?

Here is the fix,

this error is due to a conflict between MATLAB mex and a LaTeX command with the same name. Edit src/Makefile.var and mention the full path when referring to MEXBIN

MEXBIN = /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mex
