Hello all, I am having trouble getting a commercial app (matlab V5.3 R11.1) to run in Debian 2.2. Mathworks (the makers of matlab) do not support it on Debian 2.2 probably because it is a libc5 compiled app. Here is the output I get when attempting to run matlab:
$ matlab /opt/matlab/V11.1/bin/lnx86/matlab: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' Ok, so my limited understanding tells me to check ldconfig for libXt.so.6: # ldconfig -v | grep libXt libXtst.so.6 => libXtst.so.6.1 libXt.so.6 => libXt.so.6.0 or # locate libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 So why is it not getting loaded? Here is my /etc/ld.so.conf: /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat I tried the following: # cd /lib # ln -s ../usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 libXt.so.6 # ldconfig and then tried running matlab: $ matlab /opt/matlab/V11.1/bin/lnx86/matlab: can't load library 'libX11.so.6' Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Why will it load from /lib but not /usr/X11R6/lib? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Dan
