MATLAB: Do I receive the warning “Warning: glibc x.x.x – your version glibc x.x.x – matlab built using this version” when running MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a) on Linux

MATLAB

I have a Linux system with MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a). When I load MATLAB, there is a warning.

 ------------------------------------------------------------
 Warning: glibc 2.3.2      - Your version
          glibc 2.3.4      - MATLAB built using this version
 ------------------------------------------------------------

Best Answer

MATLAB has been built on glibc 2.3.4 for 64-bit unix systems.

This is the minimum system requirement to run MATLAB. MATLAB running on an earlier version of glibc is not supported.

The minimum system requirement specification is given in the url

MATLAB: Do I receive the error, “libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22′ not found” when trying to start MATLAB on Ubuntu 18.04

The libstdc++ library shipped with Ubuntu 18.04 may be older and may not contain the required GLIBCXX version that MATLAB requires.

To resolve this issue you may upgrade the libstdc++ libraries by running the following command as they appear:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9
sudo apt-get upgrade libstdc++6

Use MATLAB's libraries by setting the environment variable:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018b/sys/os/glnxa64

Then attempt to open MATLAB again.

MATLAB: Do I receive a warning message about GLIBC incompatibility when I start the MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) on a system with glibc 2.5

The warning message occurs because some parts of MATLAB were built with higher glibc versions. However, the MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) release has been validated against the following distributions:

- Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x

- OpenSUSE 11.x

- Debian 5.x

These distributions are fully supported regadless of the warning message.

It is likely that other distributions with kernel version 2.6 or later and glibc version 2.5 or later can successfully run MathWorks products, but MathWorks will be in a limited position to provide technical support for those distributions. For other distributions, if MATLAB starts after the error message, there is a good chance that MATLAB will properly work on this system.
