you can save a lot of time by mounting the ISO files directly ! , this will save you the time of burning the images and it will be much faster for installation since you are reading from your HDD instead of CDs !

the command should be sth like this :

sudo mkdir /media/iso
cd my_download_folder
sudo mount matlab_CD1.iso /media/iso -o loop -t iso9660

then you continue as if /media/iso was your cdrom.
when it asks for the next CD, you can mount the next iso to another directory … or you can unmount the first one and mount the second :

sudo umount /media/temp
cd my_download_folder
sudo mount matlab_CD2.iso /media/temp -o loop -t iso9660

and so on …

13. You have to open the “license.lic” file and replace the string “your_host_name” with the hostname of the computer where Matlab is being installed, ok if u don’t know what’s the host name go System->Administration->System Monitor-> System tab. In my system it’s ramy-desktop.

you can also get your hostname just by typing :
hostname

Hello!!
Work with matlab 7 (R14) under linux and the distribution kubuntu of linux (ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-16-generic). Matlab does not recognize mex -setup (to see underneath and to see matlabrc.m), but in line of command of linux works correctly ¿can help me with this error?
Thank you very much,

AnaGP

Hi Guys,

I just want to express my profound appreciation & gratitude for the information on this site – I successfully completed the installation and I’ve forwarded to my friends having similar problem.

I struggled with the installation thrice before i came across this site which is why I’m very happy & over the moon. Thanks, you guys are GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Many thanks once again.
Cheers,
David Lewiss

Hi All,

Please the error message below appeared after installation in the command window:

Warning: Could not query OpenGL
Warning: OpenGL appears to be installed incorrectly.

PLEASE how do I solve this error message.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi ppl,
I just want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for publishing nice guide lines for installation. I also successfully completed the installation. Well ..I experience this is the nice thing with Linux, Ubuntu,..open source community..
Cheers

i need matlab for my Bc. degree

oh thanks very much it semed it workd but there is problem when a create desktop launcher it start with first matlab window (loading window) and then nothing. When i run matlb in bin in console, matlab is running but in console :

Please response I dont know if its normal i am noob in linux

Okey then thank you vety much for failure and support, i try M-files and graphics and works thx

there is one problem :

this writes on my screen whe a i try install matlab please help

[...] If you don’t have Matlab and you want to install it on Linux you can find the tutorial here [...]

WHEN I START matlab it gives following warning:- Could not query OpenGL.
Warning: OpenGL appears to be installed incorrectly.

and when i give any command it gives following message-

Please help me what to do?

Thank you so much! I wasted over four hours trying to install Matlab using other directions, and none of them worked out. But yours was pretty clear and effective. Regarding the use of ISO images, I installed Gmount-iso to load them. It comes with three media files cdrom, cdrom0, and iso.
Once again, many thanks.

>??? Can’t load ‘/usr/local/matlab7/bin/glnx86/libmwsimulink.so’: libXft.so.1:

I think there might be 2 solutions for you akhilesh kumar.

Your incosistencies is probably bevause you haven’t installed libxft2 or libxft1. Try to install them.

sudo apt-get install libxft2

and try to run Matlab and symlink again.

If you have a problem like:

Invalid (inconsistent) license key
The license-key and data for the feature do not match.
This usually happens when a license file has been altered

It’s usually caused by swapping the license file back and forth between different directories prior to installing matlab. You can solve it by going back and opening the installation cd and finding the etc/license.dat or MathWorks_R(number)_1/license.dat and pulling it over to your installation directory and overwriting you existing license file matlab7/etc/license.dat

Mathworks have a good article about the libGL and symlink problem here:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-18N21/index.html?solution=1-18N21

Thank you for all

Really, its working..
but problem with simulink operation only
thanks

Thanks!!!!! =)

This thread helped me tremendously. Thanks.

hi!
I have installed matlab but I can’t launch it as in home/username/matlab/bin there is no matlab icon! yet i have a .cmp archive called prod.156463.cmp – do you know what can I do?
