Student MatLab + LibICU

Xeronage · 2008-09-17 05:59:23

Hello there! I've recently replaced my school laptop's windows vista with Archlinux after some stuff with the MBR went horribly wrong, and am in the process of installing all my school software (UNIX variants) on it.

MATLAB however requires the Libicu library to run, which I can't find in the repositories, nor it is included with icu 4.0.
Any clue on how I should get this library?

possible helpful info: Running a mix of openbox with gnome tools/applets.

I found the libicu rpm and extracted it, and I found

/usr/lib/
libicudata.so.40    libicuio.so.40    libiculx.so.40    libicuuc.so.40
libicudata.so.40.0  libicuio.so.40.0  libiculx.so.40.0  libicuuc.so.40.0
libicui18n.so.40    libicule.so.40    libicutu.so.40
libicui18n.so.40.0  libicule.so.40.0  libicutu.so.40.0

Which I already had in my /usr/lib. These libraries must be included with the icu package which I already have installed, so it looks like you'll just have to install that if you haven't already.

Dang, I've been trying for the past two hours to get libicu unpacked from an RPM using rmpunpack and rpmextract, and both attempts failed. Could you extract those files, zip/rar them and possibly host them online?

just do

pacman -Sy icu

if you are connected to the internet or get the package from a mirror after which you can install it with pacman -U

Arch Linux
