Hi all, I now have Matlab Student Edition working. It turned out that Matlab doesn't like submount. Details below. Best regards On Friday 04 June 2004 17:29, Bjorn Tore Sund wrote:

One factor is that they are dependent on fairly old glibc implementations which enables them to run on RH 7.1 systems from yesteryear. This can lead to occasional problems on more recent platforms.
It can't be glibc. Once this thread started I did some testing, and both installation and use of Matlab R13 SP1 and Maple 9 worked without problems there. No, they're not the student version. Thus the problems are AMD64- specific - I'll be starting tests early next week for that.
That said, Matlab R13sp1 is apparently working here on SuSE 9.1 (AMD64) although I haven't used the JVM environment and nor do I care to. The official line from Mathworks of course is that there is no native support for any version of Matlab on the AMD64 platform. It is always worth letting them know that you think there should be.
The JVM environment should work too, though it gets confused by the keymapping. The following two lines in .Xmodmap solved the problem for matlab: keycode 64 = Meta_L keycode 0x6D = Multi_key
To get Matlab to understand that the Documentation CD is in the drive, I changed the /etc/fstab line for cdrecorder back to what it had been for SuSE 9.0, ie, from: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,unhide,iocharset=utf8 0 0 back to: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 This worked. It turns out that I don't need LD_ASSUME_KERNEL for Matlab. For my next trick, I'll figure out what's happening with Maple. I hope.
