Can't reload '/usr/loca​l/MATLAB/R​2017b/bin/​glnxa64/li​bmwdastudi​o.so'

I get this error message when I try to open simulink on Scientific Linux and Fedora.

[Thirunagaru Deekshith]

$ cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b # Matlab directory

$ cd bin/glnxa64

$ mkdir exclude

$ mv libfreetype* exclude

$ cd ../../sys/os/glnxa64

$ mkdir exclude

$ mv libstdc++.so.6* exclude

$ cd

These commands worked for me

[Alfio Messina]

This solution worked for me. Thank you!!!

I'm on a Ubuntu XFCE virtual machine and MATLAB R2017b.

Same issue, none missing from "ldd". R2018a on Arch Linux. So maybe solved in R2018b?

[Evgenii Semenov]

Exactly the same problem. Arch Linux, Matlab R2018a

[Edward Pacman]

Solved by moving the libfreetype.so.6 font display file in $MATLAB/bin/glnxa64/ to an 'exclude' directory. See BBS#202575.

Then you get :

Warning: The MATLABWindow application failed to launch because of missing libraries. Install the packages which contain the
following libraries:
  libselinux.so.1

Simply install libselinux from AUR,by using:

yaourt -S libselinux

Then you get:

Warning: MATLABWindow application failed to launch. Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application 
> In sltemplate.ui.StartPage/showWithFallback
  In sltemplate.ui.StartPage.show

See Why is MATLAB unable to run the MATLABWindow application on Linux?

Just set aside the copy of libglib-2.0.so by matlab in ${MATLABROOT}/cefclient/sys/os/glnxa64

Now I can start simulink without any error nor warnings.

The solution provided in BBS#202575 solved my problem, thank you very much! (Matlab R2018a on Manjaro).

I did not have any warning messages.

[Abhinaba Saha]

Thanx, The solution provided in BBS#202575 solved my problem too....!!

how do you create an exclude forlder?

[Rajesh Balagam]

It may be possible that some dependent libraries for 'libmwdastudio.so' are missing in the system. Check if all the dependencies are present for this library by performing the following steps:

1. Using a terminal, navigate to the directory where the library is found:

 >> cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/glnxa64

2. Then run the 'ldd' command as shown:

 >> ldd libmwdastudio.so

3. Observe for any missing libraries in the output. For example:

 libXt.so.6 => not found
 libXext.so.6 => not found

4. Install the missing libraries

[jackxujh]

I tried this method, and I got the error the ldd is undefined. This is so strange...

hi, Rajesh Balagam

I meet this issue,too. I did as your steps but I didn't have any missing libraries. And after that I still have the problem when I invoke Simulink in Matlab2017b. It also showed "Can't load glnxa64/libmwjmi.so": GLNXA64/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5: undefined symbol: XFreeEventData

Thanks, Xiaotong

[Eric Smith]

I have the same problem on Fedora 27. Running "ldd libmwdastudio.so" shows that all libraries are found, none missing. I am running matlab using the symlink the installer created. I installed matlab in /opt/matlab-r2017b, and the simlink is to /opt/matlab-r2017b/bin/matlab.

[foboo]

In my case this happened because I called

${MATLAB_ROOT}/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB

instead of

${MATLAB_ROOT}/bin/matlab

[R Seyon]

I had same problem . I have successfully solved this error by ( Matlab 2018a on linux mint 20.1 ) following below tutorial

https://www.programmersought.com/article/56335887472/

Summary of this tutorial

-------------------------------

Can't reload'/xx/xx/xx/libmwdastudio.so

The reason for the problem: Matlab cannot load the font to display $ MATLAB / bin / glnxa64 / libfreetype.so.6;
