--TakKZr9L6Hm6aLOc Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello, The following is what I had to do to install and run Matlab with linux-base-7. Could someone please follow-up on http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/45023 (patch #1) and http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/42457 (patch #2). Notes: Two kernel patches are required and the default java doesn't work. Java jre1.3.1 dies with a thread problem and jre1.1.8 hangs on exit without patch #2. FlexLM doesn't run without patch #1. Matlab no-longer requires the /dev/ptmx and the unix command works. Installation (assumes kernel patches are done) % xhost + localhost % su % mount Unix installation CD #1 % /compat/linux/bin/bash % run install found on cd -Install to /usr/local/matlab6.13 -Cancel the license editor, cp your license to /usr/local/matlab6.13/etc/license.dat click ok (or yes), and your license should show up with the right SERVER and VENDOR lines. I choose to create the links in /usr/local/bin Complete the install. % (Optional) If you want additional toolboxes, eject the cd, mount the 2nd Unix CD, re-run the installation and specify the same path as before. % pw useradd -u 81 -n flexlm -s /bin/sh -d / (Creates a user for flexlm) % sed -i.bak -e's,^#\!.*/bin/sh$,#! /compat/linux/bin/bash,' /usr/local/matlab6.13/etc/lm* /usr/local/matlab6.13/bin/matlab /usr/local/matlab6.13/bin/mex (Set linux emulation, or you could hack the arch.sh, or manually specify the arch) % rm /usr/local/matlab6.13/sys/java/jre/glnx86 % ln -s /usr/local/matlab6.13/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.1.8/ /usr/local/matlab6.13/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre (Changes the default java to one that works) % /usr/local/matlab6.13/etc/lmstart -u flexlm (Start FlexLM) % as regular user, run matlab to test. Attached is two patches anda start-up script I use in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to automatically start flexlm. --Mat PS, please CC as I'm not on the list -- Captain Capacitor: Shiver me templates!
