MATLAB: /opt/matlab/R2017b/bin/glnxa64/mcc: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libx11.so.6shared libraries

Hi,

I installed Matlab on a fresh machine. When I run any commands I get the following error:

   /opt/matlab/R2017b/bin/glnxa64/mcc: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone with this issue before?

Thanks

I could got rid of this error after installing lib-X11

sudo yum -y install lib-X11

Should not Matlab list this as a pre-requisite in their documentation?

I could fix this by running

sudo yum -y install libXext

To resolve this problem, open a Terminal window and use the commands below depending on your OS architecture:

For 64-bit Ubuntu:

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6

For 32-bit Ubuntu:

sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

For using the Student Version on 64-bit:

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib

Afterwards try starting MATLAB again.
