Hi

I am trying to install Matlab 6p5 to Suse 9.2
I follow the installation instructions step by step, but unfortunately the Matlab program does not run. I also used the command
exportLD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 (which works for 9.1)... but again I had no results.

If anyone knows something for this problem please inform me.

Thanks

What happens when you try to run it from an x terminal ? Error messages ? Clouds of smoke ?

Have you tried
export LANG="C"
It is very important.

We tried the export LANG="C" command that you proposed but this resulted again to failure
The error message was:

@linux:/usr/local/matlab6p5/etc> ./lmstart

Checking license file for local hostname and local hostid . . .

Taking down any existing license manager daemons . . .
trap: usage: trap [-lp] [[arg] signal_spec ...]
Note: license manager did not come down properly . . .

Have you tried matlab6p5 on Suse 9.2?
Is it working?

Thanks in advance,

I have the same identical problem but only with SuSE 9.2...
I have a removeable drive with SuSE 8.2 pro installed and matlab6p5 works fine.

I just bought a new drive and put SuSE 9.2 pro on the new drive and installed matlab6p5 on it. The install worked perfectly, but the license manager does not run and I get the exact same error message you received. However, all is well when I use SuSE 8.2.

Out of frustration, I contacted Mathworks today about this problem. According to them, Matlab version 6 will only run with either a 2.2.X or a 2.4.X kernel, but NOT with a 2.6.X kernel.

This may just be a license manager issue as this has always been very problematic even under SuSE 8.2. Perhaps if one knew how to fool matlab into thinking the license manager was running, that matlab would in fact run.

I wish SuSE 9.2 included Octave!!!
