Problem Description:

Why do I get a segmentation fault when I try to install MATLAB 5.3.1 on a Solaris machine?

I get this whether I do an xsetup or a text-setup.

Solution:

This is a bug in the MATLAB 5.3.1 Installer. It occurs when you have a corrupt TMW_Archive line. When the installer goes to the error-table, it hits the bug and gives the segmentation fault.

Please make sure that your 'INCREMENT TMW_Archive' line exactly matches the line that we originally sent you.
