From: David Romero-Antequera on
After a while of having no problem with Matlab's university license, when I tried to install in a laptop with broken video card (which means I will only use this to run in batch mode), I got in the same issues. The laptop:

Gentoo Linux amd64, Intel Core Duo 2.

Workaround:
../install -t -glnx86

this will try to install Matlab for 32 bits, but in the section for choosing the packages, it will let you install the 64 bits version as well. Specifically the problem is that libXp.so.6 is a 32-bits library and Matlab installer have some problems trying to finding it for 32-bits compatibility mode.

Hope this helps somebody.

Sorry, my bad. It seems that the problem goes a little bit beyond just installation. I can't use MATLAB in 64 bits at all. I will try to install as 32bits and will post results.

Actually, the solution was pretty lame. Just install the libXp package.

emerge libXp

Hope this help somebody. Sorry if I misguided someone.
