Hi! I have a problem when i try to install matlab r2007a on my debian
etch.
When i execute the installation scipt, i get the following error:
[b]An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup',
the X Window System version of 'install'. The following
messages were written to standard error:
/home/ferran/matlab/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: error while
loading shared libraries:
/home/ferran/matlab/update/bin/glnx86/libmwins.so: invalid ELF header
Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available
or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal
version of 'install' using the command:
install* -t or INSTALL* -t[/b]
I also tried to install it without X, but it still fail.
Any help will be welcome!
(I have a nvidia correctly installed if it helps)

MatLab is not a Debian product. Octave however is similar to MatLab and
Octave is Debian Open and Free. You should give Octave a try even if you
have MatLab. Since MatLab is not supported by Debian you should try
MatLab support. It would seem you have acquired MatLab under one of the
purchase plans associated with MatLab. That means you are entitled to
installation support from the company that sells MatLab. I think MatLab
is supposed to install without problems on both Windows and Linux.
Personally, I gave up on MatLab because it was too costly to purchase
and I did not qualify for a student rate. However, since you have the
product you should register with the MatLab support group. They should
be happy to help you out and MatLab support would be responsible for
resolving any difficulties with whatever version of Linux on which you
were installing MatLab. I am not sure if MatLab works on all versions
of Linux and I think you should check with the MatLab support or the
MatLab web page to be sure that MatLab works on the Debian
distribution. I kind of remember that it may only work on RedHat so you
had better check this out.
Sorry I cannot be of any direct help
Thanks, hope things work out, Ted
