When attempting to install MATLAB onto Linux from DVD or downloaded installation files I see the message:
------------------------------------------------------------------- An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup', the X Window System version of 'install'. The following messages were written to standard error: /home/$USER/mathworks_downloads/R2009a/update/install/main.sh: line 86: /home/$USER/Download/MatlabR2009a/update/bin/$ARCH/xsetup: Permission denied Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal version of 'install' using the command: install* -t or INSTALL* -t ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry! Setup aborted . . .
