it must be an installation issue. try adding a path similar to these to your MATLAB path: 

 

d:\altera\91\quartus\dsp_builder\bin\mdllibrary 

d:\altera\91\quartus\dsp_builder\bin 

d:\altera\91\quartus\dsp_builder\bin\matlab

DSP Builder 9.1 does not support MATLAB 2007b. You must upgrade to MATLAB R2008a or later. The installer for 9.1 should not detect MATLAB versions prior to R2008a, so if you ran it against this version then you must have manually set the path of MATLAB. 

 

After you install a newer version, you must then reinstall DSP Builder into the new version of MATLAB.

Interesting. But that information is wrong. Clearly the web site hasn't been updated for the support change. Note it also doesn't say R2009b, which I'm also fairly sure it does support. 

 

(The fixed point type API changed in R2008a and so DSP Builder had two sets of DLLs. You could see this in your path, when it added either a pre2007b directory or a post2008a directory. In 9.1 the old set of DLLs was removed).
