Why does my MATLAB 6.5 (R13) installation hang at 98% on Red Hat 9?
The installer fails on a clean Red Hat 9 Linux installation. (I have no other versions of Linux or MATLAB on my machine)
For each CD, the problem is the same: when the progress bar is almost at the end (around 98%), the installer freezes. Running 'top' shows the unix 'sort' command taking lots of processor time. If the script is interrupted (^C) at this point, the installer continues, and reports that the installation is complete.
However, it is clear that the installation is not complete, as MATLAB does not run. For example, the symbolic links in /usr/local/bin are not made.
