MATLAB: MATLAB Compile in Linux, Executable not Executing

Question

I have built a GUI (using GUIDE), and I am trying to compile it for distribution, using a Linux system. I can get it to compile (meaning I get an executable), and I have also been able to package it (I get an executable "package" file). However, when I try to run the program executable (not the "package"), I get an error saying it cannot find a required file. I'm thinking this has to do with RTE, but I'm not 100% certain of that. Also, the "package" executable does not execute, which I'm thinking may be due to system permissions (i.e. I'm not an admin, so I can't install).

This was done Friday at work, and I don't remember exactly what error messages I'm getting, but the stuff above is basically what I got. I can update Monday with exact error messages, if need be.

I'm looking for validation of my theory that I don't have RTE installed, and that I cannot install it because I'm not an admin.

Thanks!

The failure to install the MCR sounds like it could be due to permissions like you suppose.

As for the executable, there's too little info to diagnose that. Sometimes, the compiler can't be aware of a necessary file and doesn't include it in the CTF archive unless you use a pragma to force it in specifically
