I just apt-get'ted my system and Matlab (student version R11) doen't want to start for me.
| bash-2.04$ matlab | /usr/local/bin/matlab5/bin/lnx86/matlab: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' | bash-2.04$ But... | megatron:/home/phenym# ldconfig -v | grep libXt.so | libXt.so.6 -> libXt.so.6.0 | libXt.so.6 -> libXt.so.6.0 | megatron:/home/phenym# The tail end of an strace follows this... There are some libs that matlab can't find, but I'm not enough of a programmer to understand exactly what's going on. Does anyone have a clue as to what may be wrong?
