Hi everyone

I'm trying to install Matlab 7 (R14) from CD on Fedora 4, but am not having much luck.

I first tried on a Dell Dimension 4300 and got the following output:


An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup',
the X Window System version of 'install'. The following
messages were written to standard error:

/tmp/24582tmwinstall/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: error while loading share d libraries: /tmp/24582tmwinstall/update/bin/glnx86/libmwins.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available
or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal
version of 'install' using the command:

install* -t or INSTALL* -t

-------------------------------------------------------------------
/tmp/24582tmwinstall/update/install/abort.sh: line 15: /tmp/24582tmwinstall/upda te/install/cleanup.sh: No such file or directory


I then tried "/media/cdrom/install -t", but got the output:


/tmp/24705tmwinstall/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: error while loading shared libraries: /tmp/24705tmwinstall/update/bin/glnx86/libmwins.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied


After that I tried installing it on a different PC and got exactly the same error messages. This PC was previously Fedora 3, and Matlab 7 had worked fine on that. With the same installation discs however, it wouldn't install on Fedora 4.


Any ideas?

Thanks

Daley;

This didn't work for me, but it may work for you (it worked for others in a redhat forum)... take a look at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=338231 , I'm having a similar problem with acroread.

It seems the problem is caused by SElinux...

If you succeed making it run, please post here any relevant info, thanks.

PavoDive.

Update:

Yeah it was related to SE Linux settings. I posted this on linuxforums.org, and a few other people said they'd had exactly the same problem.

You need to use "/usr/bin/setenforce 0" (as root), then install. The guy there said to run the installation in text mode, but I ran it in GUI mode and it still works fine.

Dear all,

I have tried setenforce 0 and still can't install matlab with or without -t switch. I am searching for many weeks but still can't find a case like mine. Has anyone faced and solved this problem???



root@lycos Matlab7]# setenforce 0
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
[root@lycos Matlab7]# /mnt/cdrom/install -t

Thanks in advance for your answer

I had the same problem. The solution was to disable selinux with "usr/sbin/setenforce 0" as root (afterwards enable it again with "usr/sbin/setenforce 1").

Olah,

I am running an amd athlon 64 compaq machine and want to install matlab r14sp2 OS=suse 10.0


I am stil getting the segmentation fault from the shell scripts.
/tmp/7644tmwinstall/update/install/main.sh: line 244: 7888 Segmentation fault "$xsetup" $arglist

did a setenforce 0
copied the stuff in a directory
exported MLM_LICENSE_FILE
but still it won't install.
any suggestions....

tnx in advance,
Cees
