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:

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
