MATLAB: Do I receive an error message when I start MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) on Linux Fedora 8 operating system

MATLABstartup

When I start MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) on my Fedora 8 Linux machine I receive this error message:

 MATLAB: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
 Aborted

To work around this issue, update Java using any of the following commands:

sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' $MATLABROOT/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.6.0/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' $MATLABROOT/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.6.0/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so

where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing

matlabroot

at the MATLAB Command Prompt.

Restarting MATLAB now may resolve this issue.

MATLAB: Do I get a libc.so.6: not found error when launching MATLAB in Ubuntu

To resolve this problem, open a Terminal window and use the commands below depending on your OS architecture:

For 64-bit Ubuntu:

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

For 32-bit Ubuntu:

sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

For using the Student Version on 64-bit:

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

Afterwards try starting MATLAB again.

MATLAB: Do I get the error: “Failed to start the Desktop: Failure loading desktop class” when starting MATLAB on a 64-bit Linux Machine

This error has been found on certain 64-bit Linux machines. To resolve this error, a symbolic link must be made to a java file under the MATLAB directory. To do this, open a terminal and run the following commands:

cd /lib64
ln -s $MATLAB/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/xawt xawt
(where $MATLAB is the root MATLAB directory on your machine)

Once the link has been created, MATLAB should launch.
