Help to run the examples for the first time

Hi, I am trying to learn this awesome tool. I am starting with the examples on matlab/examples/antennas
Then I am seeing this.

RunFDTD: Warning: Max. number of timesteps was reached before the end-criteria of -50dB was reached...

Do you have any idea how to fix this?
I've installed openEMS from the OS package manager on Ubuntu 20.04.
And I am running the examples from the repo I cloned from the GitHub.

I was able to go over it by placing this h5readatt_octave.cc in my /usr/local/share/CSXCAD/matlab/ folder.
The build with the setup.m passed but it was not able to run it.

Then I was able to fix it manually with this (this a subset of my Makefile)
Running from here ~/openEMS/matlab/examples/antennas

fix_missing_h5readatt_octave:
	sudo cp ../../h5readatt_octave.cc /usr/share/octave/packages/openems-0.0.35/

INC_PATH = $(dir $(shell find /usr/include -name hdf5.h | head -1))
LIB_PATH = $(dir $(shell find /usr/lib -name libhdf5.so))

build:
	mkoctfile -I$(INC_PATH) -L$(LIB_PATH) -lhdf5 ../../h5readatt_octave.cc

Is this still open? Please try to build completely from github.
