MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

Description:
I am unable to install MATLAB R2020a from an official ISO image which checks out on Fedora 32 (after solving another problem unrelated to this topic).

Output when running "sudo ./install" (working directory is the root of the image):
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application
[1]    24290 abort      sudo ./install

Output when running "sudo bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow" (working directory is the root of the image):
bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_ptr_array_copy

I have libselinux installed from AUR, and both glib2 and pango are at the newest version as of Sep 10, 2020 (glib2 2.64.5-1, pango 1:1.46.1-1).

Is this a pango problem that needs to be solved by downgrading it or is there some other workaround?

I found this similar issue on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54257, but it now seems outdated and didn't exactly match my problem.

My thanks and gratitude in advance.

Re: MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

I had this problem as well. The solution is in the Arch wiki:

I've tried this, I'm afraid... And I'm not even over the installation stage. Most of the solutions I can find deals with g_log_structured, and this is not my problem.

Re: MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

Have you solve the problem? I met the absolutely same problem. I spend about a month on it but failed. And I asked for the support for MathWork. It seems that they don't support systems based on ArchLinux. I tried to install it on Manjaro and failed with the same error.

As you were told during the registration process, Manjaro isn't supported here, ChujunHuang.

Sorry. I mean that I first tried to install it on Manjaro and failed. Then I failed to install it on arch with the same error. Now I use arch linux.I think matlab do not support Arch-based system

Re: MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

Has someone tried to install it from the AUR?

If so, try to install from the AUR and post the error log if any...

Re: MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

My god! I succeed! I tried to install R2020b online by downing a zip file. The I unzip the file with unzip command. When I run unzip command, there are something about link. Then I install in online. Last time I tried to install it from an ISO file but failed.

Re: MATLAB installation fails due to package problems

I got exactly the error OP got. I manged to install it by calling `./R2020a_Update_3_Linux/bin/glnxa64/install_unix_legacy` where `R2020a_Update_3_Linux` is the base-directory.

Note that the normal install script calls `./R2020a_Update_3_Linux/bin/glnxa64/install_unix` which throws that error.

Allow me to apologize for taking so long. This solved my problem. Thank you!
