MATLAB: Do I receive a “Unable to load Java Runtime Environment” warning when starting MATLAB on Linux with glibc 2.3

__libc_wait2.32.3.2environmentglibcjavajrelinuxloadMATLABruntimesymbol [~]tounable

I am using MATLAB on a Linux installation that uses glibc 2.3. When I launch MATLAB I receive the following message:

 Warning: Unable to load Java Runtime Environment: /opt/matlab6p1/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference.
 Warning: Disabling Java support.

Though MATLAB starts, it starts in text mode.

MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and MATLAB 6.x (R12.x, R13) have not been tested with or qualified under Linux with glibc 2.3 libraries. MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) is supported under Linux with glibc 2.3 libraries. For more information on system requirements, visit the following URL:

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 an error about GLIBC_2.0 not being defined when I try to start MATLAB on a Red Hat 9 machine

This error is due to the introduction of the Native Posix Thread Library, or NPTL, in Red Hat Linux 9.0. Applications which use Sun JRE versions prior to 1.4.1, or those which use the IBM JRE, are known to experience problems with this library. MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1) and previous versions of MATLAB use JRE versions prior to 1.4.1. To work around this problem, you can use the old LinuxThreads implementation by setting the environmental variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. Set it to either 2.2.5 or 2.4.1.

If you are using c shell, you can enter one of the following at the LINUX prompt:

 setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1

 setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.2.5

If you are using bash shell, you can enter one of the following at the LINUX prompt:

 export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

 export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
