matlab encounters a Segmentation Fault on startup

3 views (last 30 days)
I installed and activated Matlab R2015b, but it segfaults immediately after startup.
I called `matlab -Dgdb` to debug, but the output doesn't help me. I included it below.
What can I do to gain further information related to this error?

Solved the issue by installing ncurses5-compat-libs from the Arch User Repository (AUR, inofficial Packages for Arch Linux)
