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.
