What library should be used by Matlab 2012a on Ubuntu 12.04, instead of libc.so.6?

2 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
I have been using Matlab R2012a on Ubuntu 10.04 w/o library issues.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04. Upon initiation of Matlab, the following message is printed:
1: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/util/oscheck.sh: /lib/libc.so.6: not found
(A similar message results on a 64-bit machine, except it is /lib64/libc.so.6.)
I went back to my 10.04 installation, and found that libc.so.6 was a link to libc-2.11.1.so for that version (at least on the 64 bit machine).
The latter library doesn't exist on 12.04, so I cannot try to solve the problem by creating a link as in 10.04.
I am not sure how critical the library is, as I just made the upgrade to 12.04, and Matlab starts up.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks, Tim

My question about choice of library was "mostly answered" at:
But it deals with the issue on Ubuntu 11.04.
For Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit) the solution is (as provided at the url above): sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib64/libc.so.6
For Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit), libc-2.15.so replaces libc-2.13.so.
I am not sure how general this is, but I suggest finding out what libc.so.6 is linked to in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
That is for 12.04, in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: libc.so.6 -> libc-2.15.so
It works, though perhaps not for future versions of Ubuntu.
