Undefined function 'vec' for input arguments of type 'double'

After installing the cvx, this problem came up when testing a simple model. And it come up again every time i try a problem.Here is the error in testing simple model:

Testing with a simple model...
UNEXPECTED ERROR: ---------------------------------------------

Switching to the SeDuMi solver will fix this problem (cvx_solver sedumi). You can still do this even though cvx_setup itself will fail when running the test model. It is a known bug but I haven’t been able to figure out the conditions under which it pops up.

A permanent fix is to run these commands after cvx_setup:

addpath([cvx_where,'functions',filesep,'vec_']);
savepath

cp /your_cvx_folder/functions/vec_/vec.m /your_cvx_folder/functions/vec.m

This naive method solved my problems…
