MATLAB 7 SP2 on FC4 (x86_64)
by Mostafa on Aug.25, 2005, under How To ..., Linux, Software
The installer will not run on a default install. To get that working, I needed to install the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.x86_64 package. It appears to contain some libraries needed by the graphical installer. Once installed, the 64bit version spits out the following error (the 32bit install is fine):
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000598840 ***
The fix is:
$ LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 $ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
It’s best to put these lines at the top of $MATLAB/bin/.matlab7rc.sh
(where $MATLAB is the installation directory).
Got this little hint from the MATLAB Support site.
