MatLab R14 and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Antoine — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 12:34:48 -0400

Hello World,

Does anybody has tried to run MatLab under Leopard, the last release of Mac OS
X ? Is there any known troubles ?

I plan to update my station toward Leopard, but I am still worried about
programs compatibility.

thanks for your help.

Hi Goodfolks, I have the student version of Matlab that only says R14 with
service pack 3 wich I bought almost two years ago, and it does not work with
Leopard. It always worked with Tiger.

Installation went fine, but when I try to run the program, X11 starts up, but
the Matlab icon just bounces like 10 times in the dock and quits.

Anyone have any troubleshooting ideas how to solve this?

Thanks!!

Please try opening X11 (from Applications -> Utilities) and typing
/Applications/MATLAB7x(x=your version)/bin/matlab and report what comes
back.

Hi, thanks for helping out :)

..this is what happens: it just says "matlab: command not found" even though
the matlab file is in the directory? I'll paste in the path, and the contents of
the bin directory below..

bash-3.2$ cd Applications/
bash-3.2$ cd MATLAB_SV71/
bash-3.2$ cd bin
bash-3.2$ ls
activation.sh gccopts.sh matlab mexext registry
engopts.sh ldd matopts.sh mexopts.sh scripts
f90opts.sh mac mex optsetup.sh util
bash-3.2$ matlab
bash: matlab: command not found
bash-3.2$

BTW, I'm on a PowerPC.

Thanks again

I tried to follow your instructions and recieved the following message:

dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_TIFFClientOpen
Referenced from:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frame

I am running R14 SP3 on a dual G5 operating leopard. Thanks for your efforts so
far!

Try './matlab' when you're cd'ed into the bin directory.

That is a known issue with R13 SP3 and has an External Bug Report
written about it. Remove/rename libtiff*.dylib from bin/mac, so that
the system version of libTIFF is loaded.

Brian you're a saviour, thanks a bunch. I removed libtiff.3.7.1.dyib and its
aliases from the bin/mac folder and Matlab pops up like nothing happened!

Cheers Matt

Hi again Brian,

Sorry it took a while, ..I went on a little mini vacation.

Anyways, I did what you said, and it turned out I had the same problem as the
other guy here, and removing libtiff.3.7.1.dylib solved my problem too, so
Matlab is now up and running just fine :)

Thank you so much for your help, Have a great weekend!

I have the same problem Stian and Matt described above. I
just upgraded to leopard and after reinstalling my student
copy of release 14 that happens. When I tried typing in the
commands you suggested into X11, it said:
Java for ppc cannot run in this configuration.
Please consult documentation.
Warning: Failed to start the Java Virtual machine.
Warning: Disabling Java support.

I looked for the libtiff files, but I could not find them,
even by searching. Any advice?

Hi Dan,

The error indicates that you are running a PowerPC version of MATLAB on
an Intel-based Mac, which must run emulated under Rosetta. However,
Apple's Java JVM does not run emulated under Rossetta, it must run
natively (hence the message)

Your options are to run the PowerPC version emulated with the -nojvm
flag on an Intel-based Mac, or upgrade to MATLAB R2007a or later, which
provides native Intel support on Intel-based Macs.

Hi,

I have MacBook Pro (not PowerPC) with OSX Leopard and MatLab R14. I
followed the instructions above but I couldn't find LibTIFF-files from the
directory?

MatLab doesn't start from the icon. "Not Responding..."

Any ideas? Please ask for more information!

This is error what I get using terminal launch ***
./matlab -nojvm
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libXm.2.dylib
Referenced from: ../../bin/mac/libmwhg.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
***
I tried of course starting MATLAB from the dock icon.

Thanks in advance,

I have the same problem as described by Stian. I'm running Mac OSX (10.5.1)
on a 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon. I deleted libtiff.3.7.1.dylib from the
bin/maci directory. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. Your help will be much
appreciated.

Merry Xmas

I have an intel-based macbook pro with the powerpc of MATLAB
verion 7 from 2004 that won't launch.

I want to try to get Matlab to start with the -nojvm flag,
but It just keeps giving me back error. I'm not sure if I'm
entering the command in the right place?

I open up X11 and typed in matlab -nojvm
It says command not found. I'm pretty new to macs and matlab.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

Try typing in the full path to matlab, for example:

/Applications/MATLAB_R14SP3/bin/matlab -nojvm

That should get you past your first problem. Good luck,

Hello,

MATLAB R14 SP3 is not supported on Intel-based Macs. In particular,
Java will not run.

See < http://www.mathworks.com/support/faq/macintel.html > for details.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. I'm running R14 student edition on a PowerPC G4. I upgraded to Leopard 6 months ago. No problem. However, for some reason I started to be unable to use Matlab 2 days ago. the symptoms are similar to what is described in the thread (X11 starts but not Matlab).

I ran the command you described and this came up:

bash-3.2$ /Applications/MATLAB_SV701/bin/matlab
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/MATLAB_SV701/bin/mac/libmwhg.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Any idea?

Thanks,
Julien

Hi Julien, and everyone...

I am having the exact same problem as you, and as someone else wrote above. This particular version of the problem has not yet been addressed in this thread.

When I type './matlab' within the appropriate directory in the terminal, it displays:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib
Referenced from: ../../bin/maci/libmwhg.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

I tried removing the two libtiff files as suggested above, which did not help.

And, of course, it does not open by double-clicking the icon. Rather, it bounces in the dock and then disappears.

Someone please help!

Thanks,

jacob

Re: MatLab R14 and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I would like to add that this was indeed also the solution for my problem.

I have recently upgraded to 10.5 from CD, which becomes 10.5.8 after Software Update. I preformed an "update" from Tiger to Leopard. This is the least invasive OS update.

Launching Matlab (R14 SP3) would launch X11, and then nothing would happen. I performed a re-install from the Matlab CD with no effect.

X11 was fine (xlogo, xhost + and echo $DISPLAY were correct per above), after all the OS is already upgraded to 10.5.8

I did the following:

cd /Applications/MATLAB71/bin/
./matlab

which returned

Symbol not found: __cg_TIFFClientOpen

Then I moved the lib files as mentioned
mv -v libtiff*.dylib ~
which turned out to be
libtiff.3.7.1.dylib libtiff.3.dylib libtiff.dylib

And I retried ./matlab to find it works fine.

Thanks for posting this stuff here. I am adding my notes to confirm the solution for R2007a when upgrading to Mac OX 10.5.8

Isaac Mancero Mosquera — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:59:30 -0400

hello to all

I am using Matlab (version command yields: 7.6.0.324 (R2008a) ) on a Intel based Macbook upgraded to Leopard just last year. Well, it starts ok, but it doesn't open figure windows, actually the program is crashing every time I try to open a figure window.

Does anybody has an idea how to solve this? last year before the Leopard upgrade it was working just fine; after that I'been working normally in Matlab without need to open figures, that's why I've realized just now figures are not working.
Please help! :/

Greetings

Isaac
