Fedora Users — RE: Problem with Matlab and Fedora 7-X

Hi there --

Listed below is the procedure that has worked for us. Let me know if you have similar success.

How to install the 32bit version of Matlab onto a 64bit Linux workstation

Example – Red Hat Enterprise Linux

In order to install 32bit MATLAB on a 64bit Linux machine running Linux, it is necessary to use one

of the following workarounds:

Run the following command syntax: ./install -glnx86 -x

-glnx86 – use 32bit architecture instead of 64bit

-x – run in X window session

Once the installation is completed, the user will need to run in 32bit mode as opposed to 64bit

mode. The command syntax in this case is the following:

matlab glnx86

Subject: Problem with Matlab and Fedora 7-X_64

Hi All,

We have recently acquired a server with 2 Intel Xeon quad-core processors (8 processors in total) , 16 GB of RAM, and 500GB of Hard Disk. It is running Fedora 7 X-64. It has all of its updates and is working ok, other than an annoyance of not being able to forward X-11 via SSH, even though it is turned on in the sshd_config file. The problem is when I try and install Matlab, on this system it is reporting the following error

“error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

If I try and place the libXp.so.6 into a network installed version of Matlab, then it gives me an ELF error that I do not know.

Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there a work around for this?

Thanks in advance
