error loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.69

I get this message when trying to run MATLAB after an install without any "errors":

/data/MATLAB/R2022a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.69: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried this with R2022a and R2022b.

I do have R2021a and R2023a running...

I have a similar problem while trying to run the installer itself. Maybe the package has been upgraded lately?

/Downloads/matlab_R2022b_glnxa64/bin/glnxa64/MathWorksProductInstaller: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.69: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I use Fedora 37 (Workstation), and trying to install MATLAB 2022b.

Try downloading and installing libicuuc.so.16 on your Linux system-

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libicu-dev

This will install the latest version of the ICU library, which includes the libicuuc.so.16 library file.

You will find the file in the following location-

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.16

Now, update the system's shared library cache using the command:

sudo ldconfig

If you are not using Linux system, search for the commands to do the same thing.
