Problem Description:

I am not able to install License manager on a Solaris 5.8 machine. No error message has been reported. I have tried 'install_matlab 4' to install just the license manager, but was not successful. When the installer gets to the point of creating $MATLAB/etc script, it gives some unreadable information.

Solution:

This issue is caused by the locale setting not being in English. Please run the following command to check the locale setting on the machine:
locale If the above output returns LANG=<non english> or not set to C, then run the following command to set LANG environment variable to C:
setenv LANG=C After setting up the above environment variable, follow the steps below to reinstall License Manager:

- navigate to root MATLAB directory
- run the following script:


./install_matlab 4

- follow the instructions on the screen and complete the installation
