Hi all,

I have MATLAB 8.6 (2015b). If I install MATLAB in the default directory (/usr/local/MATLAB), everything works fine. However, I want to install MATLAB on a different partition (/mnt/Software). I installed MATLAB on Software parition successfully, but when I try to run matlab, I get this error:

=====================================================================

...

pwd /mnt/Software/LinuxMatlab/installed/bin ./matlab expr: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /bin/uname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Sorry! We could not determine the machine architecture for your host. Please contact:

for further assistance.

trap: usage: trap [-lp] [[arg] signal_spec ...] =====================================================================

I think I need to link some libraries so that MATLAB can access them from the Software parition. I am not quite sure how to do it and which libraries do I need to symlink. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you read ld.so(8) manpage?

Try running the executable by explicitly specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib ./matlab

also you can open ./matlab in text editor and look what it does (I think this is still true for 2015b ) other info on setting the PATH is [1] and [2] [1] http://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/94805-why-does-my-linux-hardwa... [2] https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Matlab/#Probleme-mit-OpenGL
