Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
Cali, What version of MatLab did you have success with? I'm trying to install MatLab Student Version 7.0.1 (R14) service pack1 and could really use some help. brett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm trying to install MatLab Student Version 7.0.1 (R14) service pack1 and could really use some help. I've use (well not me, but my users) matlab-7.0.0 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 without any problem. Butyou must (well I do) perform the installation of Matlab on a Linux box, then you make a copy of the directory from linux-box to freebsd-box. And you can create a file (like matlab ;-) ) in /usr/local/bin with #!/bin/sh /compat/linux/bin/sh /usr/local/matlab/bin/matlab /dev/null 21 HTH. -- Albert SHIH Universite de Paris 7 (Denis DIDEROT) U.F.R. de Mathematiques. 7 ième étage, plateau D, bureau 10 Heure local/Local time: Mon May 2 16:49:34 CEST 2005 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
I've tried installing Matlab 13 on FBSD5.3 according to the handbook but I can't get it to work. This is pretty annoying since it cost a lot of money. I was really stupid, in that, I had a years technical support from Mathwords, but kind of gave up because their suggestions got me nowhere and it was quicker just to use a pirated copy on windows than follow their suggestions when really that was the perfect opportunity to continually badger them; since I was paying for it they were obliged to respond... The problem is the license manager as far as I can tell, I can't seem to get it to start. OK, there are a lot of different pieces of information I could post at this point, but I'm not sure which are most relevant. So, first of all, I think a sensible question I should ask is this: Has anyone on this list got Matlab 13 (aka 6.5) running on FBSD5.3? If so, did you do this by following the instructions in the handbook verbatim, or some other way? thanks cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
Hi, I managed to install matlab 6.5 on a freebsd 5.3, but I can't tell you exactly how I did now, since I have no matlab here. I remember that I played a bit with scripts regarding the detection of architecture ( I just edited these scripts and forcely set environment variable to i386 or so ) and did few other modifications, but they were quite simple. You should manage to get it running, however. hope this gives you one more hope :) regards, santo natale On Sun, Feb 27, 2005 at 11:37:04AM -, cali wrote: I've tried installing Matlab 13 on FBSD5.3 according to the handbook but I can't get it to work.

Re: Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
I just got it to work, thanks to the encouragement of Santo Natale. One thing is the architechture, to fix this you can edit the matlab binary, which is actually a script gvim /usr/local/bin/matlab or whatever if you read down you will see some stuff about ARCH_LIST go down below the fucntion check_archlist and at the bottom of it you will see two conditionals that say: ARCH= change these to ARCH=glnx86 or whatever your architechture is (it might be that you only need to change one, but this isn't important) Then another thing to make sure is that your hostname is set the same as the SERVER line in your matlab license manager file so if my hostname was dork, then it would say SERVER dork ID=XXX where you replace XXX with your user ID you also have to make sure that you setup your options file properly in your license file you should have a line like: DAEMON MLM /compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/lm_matlab options=/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/MLM.opt and in MLM.opt it needs to say: INCLUDE MATLAB USER blah where blah is your user, note that I'm assuming you have a standalone license make sure you leave a blank line after the INCLUDE line, I know, sounds dumb but otherwise it doesn't work. then you just start the flexlm (not as root) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/flexlm.sh start and then start matlab underthe user you were configured for matlab and it should work... well I only just got it working so hopefully everything works. thanks cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
