installing a programm from cd

hi, i try to isntall matlab.

under gnome, i just made cd laufwerk and then sudo ./install (of course, their is the installfile)

under crunchbang i have the following failure

michael@michael-laptop:/media/MATHWORKS_R2008B$ sudo ./install
-------------------------------------------------------------------

    An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup',
    the X Window System version of 'install'. The following
    messages were written to standard error:

        /media/MATHWORKS_R2008B/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available
    or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal
    version of 'install' using the command:

            install* -t    or    INSTALL* -t

-------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sorry! Setup aborted . . .

i'm a noob, so what should i do now? the tip didn't work (for me, perhaps another mistake)

thx for helping

Re: installing a programm from cd

Please open a terminal and type:

sudo updatedb
locate libXp.so.6

(alternatively: sudo find / -name libXp.so.6)

Provide the output.

Are you trying to run it on a 64bit linux? If so, please install ia32-libs, since I bet there is no 64bit matlab.

Re: installing a programm from cd

where's my answer?

ok, here again:

michael@michael-laptop:~$ sudo updatedb
[sudo] password for michael: 
michael@michael-laptop:~$ sudo find / -name libXp.so.6
/media/ubuntu/usr/lib/libXp.so.6
michael@michael-laptop:~$

Re: installing a programm from cd

Sorry, in order to provide an adequate anser, I needed some information

From the output you provided we can see that you don't have a libXp.so.6 installed on your system. It's present, but it looks like you have your ubuntu-cd inserted and it's just there.

Try to install libxp6 and if you're running a 64bit OS, additionally install ia32-libs via apt/synaptic.

sudo apt-get install libxp6 ia32-libs

Just in case

sounds weird^^

(perhaps because of a dualboot with another ubuntu-gnome, but sounds not logic)

but worked;)

thx
(i'm using 32bit)

Re: installing a programm from cd

Oh that makes sense. /media is the place where partitions are mounted wich you can't find in the fstab... "external drives" if you like. So your /media/ubuntu could indeed be your other ubuntu.

Matlab summons memories...
