Install matlab 2010a under Ubuntu 11.10

step1.Download and install 64-bit Matlab for linux, if .iso, mount isofirst

(1)create mount directory

sudomkdir mnt

(2)mount iso, e.g. matlab is m.iso

sudomount -o loop m.iso /home/lhi/mnt

(3)dir to mnt and install

cdmnt

sudo./install

Follow matlab install guide, and finish the installation, we install matlabroot in /usr/local/Matlab2010a

(4)link matlab to start it by using command matlab.

cd/usr/local/bin

ln-s matlabroot/bin/matlab matlab

Type matlab in the terminal, and if this error information comes in matlab command window:

Cannot write to preference file “matlab.prf” in “home/user/.matlab/R2010a”

The desktop configuration was not saved successfully.

解决方法：终端输入 sudo chmod 777 /home/user(自己的登录用户名)/.matlab/R2010a/matlab.prf

                            和 sudo chomd 777 /home/user(自己的登录用户名)/.matlab/R2010a

If the terminal which opens matlab  gives the following error:

/usr/local/Matlab2010a/bin/util/oscheck.sh: 605: /lib64/libc.so.6: not found

Solution: Run the following command in a terminal:

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6

Reference:

常见问题：在终端下运行matlab出现/bin/util/oscheck.sh: 605: /lib64/libc.so.6: not found的错误。解决办法：打开终端，输入sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6后回车即可（注意自己的x86_64-linux-gnu的位置，有的可能在lib64的文件夹下面，对应修改下命令即可）。32位的命令为sudo ln -s  /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6。
