Re: Matlab 5.2 and Hamm



A couple of weeks ago, I first posted a problem with installing matlab.

The problem is, as Mark Phillips (below) correctly guessed, with libc5
compatibility.  The list of linked libraries appeared OK, but further checking
revealed that libg++.so.27 was there and expected to be linked to
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libg++.so.27 
I didn't have this because I foolishly thought that libg++.so.27 was the same
as libg++.so.2.7.2.8 and when trying to install real audio made the symbolic
link myself.
It isn't the same.  All I needed to do to get matlab to work was install the
package libg++27, from the oldlibs section.
