MATLAB: Do I receive an error when using the Symbolic Math Toolbox 3.1.3 (R14SP3) after upgrading to Fedora Core 5

MATLAB

I have upgraded my operating system from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5. Now, when I issue the SYMS command as follows:
syms x
int(1/(1+x^2))
I receive the following error:
 ??? Invalid MEX-file
 '/usr/local/matlab71/toolbox/symbolic/maplemex.mexglx':
 /usr/local/matlab71/bin/glnx86/libmaple.so: symbol errno, version
 GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference.

Best Answer

The error is caused because the Symbolic Math Toolbox version 3.1.3 (R14SP3) was built with libraries that are incompatible with those available in Fedore Core 5, which was released after this version of the Symbolic Math Toolbox.
Upgrading to MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a), which incorporates the newer libraries, will allow you to use the Symbolic Toolbox without incurring the error message.
