Fail to install MATLAB 2007a on CentOS 5
in [Matlab]
|
From: Saikat Ray on 27 Dec 2007 02:14 This is happening due to the fact that Ubuntu by default mounts cdrom as non-executable, even if you mount it as a root. The solution is to change the /etc/fstab. First unmount the cdrom (DVD in my case). Then edit the line for cdrom from something like: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 to /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 i.e., add the option 'exec'. Then mount the cdrom and proceed with the installation as written in the matlab installation guide.

Hi, I encountered the same problem. But I don't have any installation CD and I am not using a cd or dvd rom. I only have the installation files downloaded from my university's webstore. Then what should I do? Can any one help me? Thanks very much.
