MATLAB: Can’t I start the license manager under Debian 10 Buster

Why can't I start the license manager under Debian 10 Buster?

Best Answer

Debian 10 has removed the lsb-core package, which causes an error when you try to launch the license manager. In order to resolve this issue, you must manually create a symlink to the native loader. Please do the following:
1. Change directories into your /lib64 folder, then create a symlink pointing to the library as follows:
 > ln -s ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
2. Once you have done that, remove all of the temporory files created by the License Manager in the /var/tmp directory.
> rm /var/tmp lm_TMW.*
3. Start the License Manager.
