Hello Eric,

These warnings could be because of one the following possible scenarios.

1. The indicated directories are in the 'pathdef.m' file used by MATLAB, but the directories do not exist in the file system.
2. The directories are added to the MATLAB path using a custom 'startup.m' file and the directories do not exist in the file system.

To resolve this issue, you can refer to the following MATLAB Answers post which resolves the similar query:

Thank you very much. I tried the answer from the first link and it works. It seems that I have another pathdef.m in my system due to older version. So I renamed it and it works fine now.
