Guest njordan Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Sorry I meant to say that I cant do a mount to install from the CD-ROM can anyone give me a brief list on how to install matlab on linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Is it the linux-version?? Or do you intend (going to try) wine..for running the windows-version under linux... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Could you please explain what is exactly the problem? Can you mount the CD? Can you see what is on the CD? What kind of Matlab is that (a generic Unix CD, a stand alone Linux version?). Ideally, you should run a script, you should have it on the CD. I just followed the instructions that they give in the brochure, and the install script ran smoothly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 If you can't mount the cd, can you mount any cd? How about if you type su and type your root password first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest njordan Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 FYI I have Matlab CDs for a Linux machine. The real problem is that I cant install the software from the CD-ROM. Am I doing mount wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have something to do with permissions to run mount. Check the permissions by typing (you don't have to be root for that): [root@localhost nikisa]# ls -l /bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 68184 Feb 11 2003 /bin/mount I don't know about 9.2 but previously MDK used to have a feature called supermount - you stick a CD in and it's being mounted without your intervention. It certainly runs mount behind the scene, so if mount is broken - it's broken... Can anybody confirm, is supermount included in 9.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
