Hallo!I have installed Matlab 7.R14 on my OpenSuse 10.3 Linux.Unfortunately,when I try to run the matlab the error below appears

MATLAB: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Abort

Having looked at various forums I saw a possible solution as shown below

To solve it, make a file in your home or home/bin directory, let's say matlab.sh containing

Code:
#!/bin/sh
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
matlab -desktop

and make it executable by
Code:

chmod +x matlab.sh
now if you run it
Code:

./matlab.sh
you should be able to start matlab.

I have implemented this but when I try to start matlab at the console using

./matlab.sh
The following error appears
./matlab.sh: line 3: matlab: command not found.

How do I solve this problem?

Which directory is the matlab executable in? Put that directory in your PATH, or put the full path to the executable in your script.

The script matlab.sh is trying to execute the command "matlab - desktop". For this to work, matlab would have to be in your path (& the user would have to have the appropriate permissions, etc). I'm betting on the path.

So

• Find matlab (probably use "locate", but if you don't have locate, use "find")

Either

• add the directory in which the matlab executable resides to the path

or

• edit the script to change "matlab" to "/complete/path/to/matlab"
