MATLAB: Does the MATLAB Engine application fail to start based on an error about not being able to open a library

can'tdyldenginelibeng.dyliblibraryMATLABopenstart

Why does my MATLAB Engine application fail to start based on an error about not being able to open a library?

Type the following at the Matlab command prompt:

mex - f /Applications/MATLAB6p5/bin/engopts.sh engdemo.c

and this produces the executable 'engdemo'. However, I am getting the following run-time error:

 dyld: ./engdemo can't open library: ../../bin/mac/libeng.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
 Trace/BPT trap

The library is located in:

$(MATLAB)/extern/lib/mac

This error is due to an incorrect dynamic library path. For more information on setting your dynamic library path see the related solution.

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 link error about relocatable entries when trying to compile a C-MEX file on a Mac with MATLAB 7.0 (R14)

This error message may occur when compiling code on a Mac with GCC 3.3.

To work around this issue, try editing the mexopts.sh file so that “-read_only_relocs suppress” is added to the LDFLAGS line. The mexopts.sh file is located in $MATLAB/bin, where $MATLAB is your root MATLAB directory.

The LDFLAGS line should subsequently look like:

 LDFLAGS = -bundle -Wl,-flat_namespace -undefined suppress -read_only_relocs suppress
