Installation probelms R2012b on Ubuntu 12.10 quantal

I am having difficulty to install matlab R2012b on Ubuntu 12.10 machine. I have chmod +x both the install and java files and now when I run "sudo ./install" I recieve the following error:

Preparing installation files ... Installing ... Exception in thread "main" com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Guice provision errors:

1) Error in custom provider, java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at com.mathworks.wizard.WizardModule.provideDisplayProperties(WizardModule.java:60) while locating com.mathworks.instutil.DisplayProperties at com.mathworks.wizard.ui.components.ComponentsModule.provid

and so on...

any thoughts?

Are you trying to install on a 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu? And are you trying to install the 32 or 64 bit version?

64 bit on 64 bit

when running with the -v option I see:

I had the same problem on Kubuntu 12.04. I could solve based on the following forum, entry #7: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1762405

The problem is that in the [matlab/install/dir]/bin/glnxa64/ a symbolic link is converted into a text file and doesn't behave as a link anymore. It must be replaced by a new one.

    cd bin/glnxa64
    rm libstdc++.so.6
    ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.13 libstdc++.so.6

Regards Feri

This fixed my issue. Probable cause would be when i downloaded matlab and burn to a CD, the symbolic link was broken as Ferenc pointed out.

[Carlos Manuel García Algora]

This solution solved my problem too. Thank you very much for your help!

[Alessandra Lo Bianco]

it solved my problem too! Thank you

Try installing from a directory without spaces -- it looks like your installation media is in "/tmp/Mathlab R2012b Linux"

If that doesn't work, I suggest contacting installation support.

unfortunately all the same aerrors... thanks for the tip.

Towards the end there's this:

"libstdc++.so.6: file too short"

It looks like something may be corrupted in your installation files.
