Darth Vader's point that package set I pointed to might not actually work if you installed it all and actually leave you with a severely borked system is not without merit.

However, PAM has been a bee in Darth's bonnet for a few years now. I start to wonder if our BDFL doesn't include PAM simply to tweak Darth's nose.

If he wanted to do that he would move Current to Plasma 5 XD

seriously? I hope it will not become a pain like MS where you want a different language that does not fit to the locale and date formats
simply not installing languages files gave me this until now in KDE, I c
But apart from that fact, what you see above is that the sum of all packages for Plasma 5 (1184 MB) is just 146 MB larger than the KDE4 package set (1038 MB). And just the Qt5 plus the Noto TTF font packages are 153 MB in size. I would not consider Plasma5 to be "too big" for Slackware compared to KDE4.
But that's just my biased opinion.ould have my german/swedish , whereever I am date formating, units and other settings, but having a english user interface.
hope this will not change with KDE5

I ran into the same problem. This is what I did:

1. Mirror https://github.com/Dlackware/pam

2. Build pam using the supplied SlackBuild.

3. explodepkg your newly built pam package to grab libpam.

4. Copy libpam.so.0.84.2 to (e.g.) /opt/MATLAB/R2017a/bin/glnxa64/libpam.so.0.84.2

5. Make a link so libpam.so.0 points to libpam.so.0.84.2 (ln -s libpam.so.0.84.2 libpam.so.0)

I'm pretty sure I sent a message to The MathWorks detailing all this in the hopes that they'd document it, but they simply replied "Slackware is not a supported Linux OS." I also asked that they not link against libpam, because as far as I can remember, MATLAB isn't actually using libpam to do anything.

Thanks a lot. I will try this.

It works

PAM package removed.

is is as like MS now,
just setting the regional settings changes the language,
but a little bit more easy to fix
one more verschlimmbesserung (a German word that talks about improvements that not only improve)

Not to revive a closed thread, but, for those setting up MATLAB R2019a on slackware-current, I just wanted to report that this solution still works. Very helpful, thanks.
