    Help installing Matlab on Ubuntu 10.04

    Hi, I'm trying to install an older student version of Matlab on Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit). It seems to install just fine, but on activation, I get unexpected exceptions when trying to activate matlab through the mathworks website. I've attached the activation.log file.

    I don't know what the log notes mean or how to interpret whats going wrong. Can someone take a look at the file and provide some thoughts.

    Thanks

    I don't know a thing about MetLab.
    But I looked at the system requirements...
    Does your computer meet those standards?

    Something that may get more replies from our members that know about MetLab...
    When you try to start it, and it fails, immediately open a terminal, execute:
    Code:
    tail -20 /var/log/syslog
    Others who are in the know may be able to chime in with some help.

    Looks like there is an so file missing. Are there any errors in the install log, if so, look for anything related to /etc/Matlab/bin/glnx86/libactivation.so.
    The log you already provided holds some typical Java stack traces, with, as usual, way too much info.
