[SOLVED] Simulink not opening

So I just installed simulink and matlab on student license on arch linux. I had problems with simulink before, so I just decided to install everything available with the installer. Matlab opens up and works fine, but whenever I click the simulink button, I get the following error:

"
Caught "std::exception" Exception message is:
Error loading /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/glnxa64/CmlinkViewExtensions/shared_cmlink/view/svn/libmwcmlink_view_svn_extension.so. libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory: Success: Success
"

I have not been able to find this error literally anywhere else, and when I submitted a support ticket to matlab, they said to change distro (bruh). I can use a virtual machine, but I really dont want to as that would be much more annoying then just having it on my computer properly

Re: [SOLVED] Simulink not opening

Also, I am running the 2024b release. I have tried to install versions before that, but with all of them, I get:

"
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Failed to launch web window with error: Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application. The exit code was: 1
Aborted
"

when I run the install script

Re: [SOLVED] Simulink not opening

Do you have libxcrypt-compat installed?

How did you install matlab and simulink?

Re: [SOLVED] Simulink not opening

Thank you so much! installing libxcrypt-compat was all I needed to do.

For reference, I installed matlab via the zip download they provide on their website, then running the contained install script
