MATLAB: Do I get a segmentation fault when I try to install on a Solaris machine
MATLAB
Why do I get a segmentation fault when I try to install MATLAB 5.3.1 on a Solaris machine?
I get this whether I do an xsetup or a text-setup.

This is a bug in the MATLAB 5.3.1 Installer. It occurs when you have a corrupt TMW_Archive line. When the installer goes to the error-table, it hits the bug and gives the segmentation fault.
Please make sure that your 'INCREMENT TMW_Archive' line exactly matches the line that we originally sent you.
This error is indicating the installer is corrupt. This can happen after unzipping the installer. Usually this is caused by antivirus or other security software. Please disable the anti-virus temporarily while unzipping the installer or preferably before you download the installer from the MathWorks website. Then unzip and run the installer again.
If you are receiving a segmentation fault error when attempting to start your newly installed Network License Manager it is most likely caused by corrupted files.
To resolve this issue, re-download the MATLAB installer and perform the license manager installation again. You can also try downloading the License Manager binaries from the following link and replace your existing lmutil, lmgrd, and mlm with the newly downloaded files.
