[MATLAB] Matlab R2009a Unix/Linux Installation (TIP)

Well...It is only quite recently that LKS started learning what LKS needs in M.D..
MATLAB SIMLUINK, of course, is what LKS must learn during a period of studying Automatic Control System. Hmmm...Enough talking...

After installation, LKS found that there “IS” a problem about configuration...
(still exist since MATLAB 2007b)

Install Java Runtime Environment support (JRE)：

• suns-java6-bin

• suns-java6-jre

• suns-java6-jdk(optional, development kit)

Modify the “matlab” script($MATLABROOT = where you installed matlab)：
nano $MATLABROOT/bin/matlab
ADD：
export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
If it still no use, add one more command：
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

Because LKS's OS is Kubuntu 9.04, there is no need to do thing as above...
But LKS found that it will slightly improve visual performance.

Desktop Setting:

If you want to add MATLAB to start menu, you should add command to start menu

matlab -desktop

Well, of course you need complete the symbolic link first to use “matlab” directly.
(MATLAB R2009a has a script “install_matlab” at $MATLABROOT, it will automatically do the symbolic link for you. )
