MATLAB: How to launch external application from Matlab in ubuntu

external applicationssystem command

Hello,
I would like to launch an external application from Matlab. I am using ubuntu 16.04 and Matlab 2017b.
I looked at other similar questions and the answer seems to be : "use the system command".
But when I use it I get :
[status,result] = system('terminal &')
status =
     0
result =
0×0 empty char array
I always get the same result if I try with other external applications.
What did I do wrong ?
Thank you for your answers.

I found a solution, using this answers : https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/329796-issue-with-libstdc-so-6
Renaming the lib file did the trick for me.
