Hi there,

I've just downloaded and installed "Matlab Students Version 7.1 R2010a" on my laptop Acer Aspire 5542 with Ubuntu 9.1 32bit.

The I have is, how do I get the shortcut placed on my desktop and Applications menu? I looked into /home folder and /usr/bin but couldn't find Matlab launcher.
I can launch it from Terminal by typing Matlab but I don't want to keep doing that way.
I wanna know where it's installed so I could pull out the shortcut and add it to my dock.

Apart from this, everything seems fine so far. No error msg during installation and no program running the app either.

Please give me some ideas.
Thank you very much.

Regards.

if you can start MATLAB out of the shell, type in the shell:
which matlab

this will show you, where your MATLAB script is placed. It might be in /usr/local/bin/?

Hey thanks for the quick reply :)

I did that and it says /home/bin/Matlab. It has a shell launcher there but not the launcher with Matlab icon?

I was hoping I'd see a load of installed files, classes, etc and amongst them, Matlab launcher Icon so that I could pull it out to the desktop.
But it's not like that :S

I guess I'm too noob lol

Any suggestion?

Cheers and regards.

I'm still having trouble pulling out Matlab shortcut.

The way I'm using Matlab now is by typing "matlab" in terminal. It works very well though.

When I type "which matlab" in terminal, it says "home/user/bin/matlab".

Please, if anyone has any idea how to put Matlab shortcut under Application menu, let me know. I'm dying to put in on my dock.

Cheers and regards,
Alfred
