[SOLVED] Matlab: installation problem

Hello,

If i do: ./install
if get within a few milliseconds this:

Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...

if i do: ./install -v

Around one year ago i had a similar problem using fedora.
But it worked, using "./install -v -javadir /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre" to install.

Does anyone of you had a similar problem and was able to fix it?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Matlab: installation problem

I'm using a tmpfs in my RAM for /tmp.
The space in there seemed not to be enough for the matlab installer.

After switching temporarily to /tmp on hard disc the installation worked.

Re: [SOLVED] Matlab: installation problem

Hello Redemption. I am trying to install r2015a as well and I'm having the exact same problem.. Could you elaborate on your solution? I'm completely clueless.

Thank you in advance

*EDIT*

I mounted the .iso by doing

sudo mount ~/Desktop/MATLAB/backup2/R2015a-glnxa64.iso /media/cdrom -o loop

After this, i ran

cd /media/cdrom
./install

And I got the same output:

pedro@pedrotosh:~$ cd /media/cdrom/ && ./install
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
Finished

And finally the ./install -v

Might it be because I have r2014a installed? If so, how can I have both installed?
