    [SOLVED] Installing Matlab R2007a

    I need help installing Matlab r2007a student version on Ubuntu 7.10. When I try to run the installation DVD I get:

    unable to execute /cdrom/install_unix.sh: Permission denied

    Also I have read about several other problems involved with installing matlab. Any advice or experiences to make this good smoother would be very welcomed.

    Thanks.

    Do you run it as root. in r2007b, the command is install not install_unix.sh

    In a terminal, try

    sudo /cdrom/install_unix.sh
    linux, linux, linux

    I'm not too sure about that. I did mine from an iso file. From looking at my iso file the installer isn't a shell script so you wouldn't need the ".sh" part. Is yours a script?

    I'm not sure. There is a file on the dvd named install_unix.sh However I can't this to run even as root.

    Try

    Code:
    sh /cdrom/install_unix.sh
    Thats how you run scripts

    Does it do the same thing when your not running in root? If that doesn't work try extracting it as an iso and mounting it. Then you should be able to do it then.

    I get the same result using sudo. What do i need to do to extract it as an iso and mount?
