And also, the Linux compatibility layer is 32bit so you need the x86 version of Matlab. Oh, I didn't realize that Linux on FBSD was 32 bit. Thanks for pointing that out. BTW, mathworks has stopped releasing new 32-bit versions of matlab for linux, but you can still get R2012a for 32-bit linux. Regarding the linking advice I have a /bin/expr and /compat/linux/usr/bin/expr. My naivety is showing, but if I did ~ ln -s /usr/bin/expr /compat/linux/usr/bin/expr That's not the same command as above. You're right. I didn't understand at first, but I think the command you suggested assumed that the working directory was /compat/linux/bin. don't I also need to edit my path so that the script would find my link before finding the built-in FBSD command? Currently, my path begins: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin: So I think the script would still use '/bin/expr'. Under Linux compat the order becomes: 1: /compat/linux/sbin/expr 2: /sbin/expr 3: /compat/linux/bin/expr - You need to create this as a link to 7 4: /bin/expr- FreeBSD expr 5: /compat/linux/usr/sbin/expr 6: /usr/sbin/expr 7: /compat/linux/usr/bin/expr - Linux expr 8: /usr/bin/expr ... I don't have #s 1, 2, 5, 6, or 8. I have created 3 as a link to 7. (And, of course, still have 4.) This does, indeed, clear up any errors from expr! Thanks!! snip The next issue is the java errors given. A brief linux install guide I was given instructed: ... (2) install Sun/Oracle java and plugin (32-bit) and you may actually need to use one or two versions back from the current version (depending on what's in the repositories anyway) I have, currently, installed the OpenJDK b27 PBI (recall I'm really on PC-BSD). Any tips or suggestions on where to find and how to install Oracle's Java? Why might I need an older version of Java? (Maybe they mean going back to JRE 6?) How would I know? (I ask about where to get Java, since Oracle claims only to support linux, and the handbook doesn't seem to have a section on it. I'm wondering if there's a right and wrong way to go here.) The Java exceptions I see are at http://pastebin.com/GJCnEXfR. I suspect the installer already contains java, so you don't have to install anything. Yes, the installer *does* in fact seem to contain a jre of its own, a point I had been confused about. The Linux version of java requires linprocfs though so make sure you have the following line in /etc/fstab

My bash scripting is weak, though, and I worry about screwing up my system and/or the installation. There are only a few functions in there that are looking for architecture type, usually with the output from uname. I think fixing those would work...? Could anyone help me get past this point? Thanks in advance! And please, if there's any info I can provide that would be helpful, please just let me know.

Installing MATLAB: processor is missing the SSE2 instructions
Trying to install MATLAB (R2008b) according to the directions here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-matlab.html
Here's what happens when I try to install:
devil # /compat/linux/bin/sh /home/daniel/matlab-install/install
expr: illegal option -- r
usage: expr [-e] expression
/home/daniel/matlab-install/install: line 197: [: -ne: unary operator expected
Error: Your computer processor is missing the SSE2 instructions that
are required for MATLAB to run correctly.
For system requirements consult http://www.mathworks.com ...
Ignore, for now, the line 197 error. The following is an excerpt from
the install script:
instructioncheck() { # check /proc/cpuinfo on glnx86 for
# correct level of instructions
# Output the flag location. A zero mean
# no flag.
case $Arch in
glnx86)
# Example: Be sure that the platform has flag sse2
# There are many ways to do this.
# Output the flag location.
expr `cat /proc/cpuinfo` : '.* sse2 .*$'
return
;;
*)
;;
esac
This sse2 flag is not found in /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo:

[dan...@devil ~]$
Surely my cpu supports the needed instructions sets for MATLAB,
because I've installed and used this exact MATLAB distribution on this
machine when running Linux.
What exactly is going on here? How do I fix this problem?
TIA,
Daniel

Re: Installing MATLAB: processor is missing the SSE2 instructions
Upon further investigation, I've learned that I can disregard the sse2 error. I changed: expr `cat /proc/cpuinfo` : '.* sse2 .*$' to: #expr `cat /proc/cpuinfo` : '.* sse2 .*$' echo 1 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FYI: I believe initially libXp.so.6 was not located in /compat/linux/lib/, so I copied it there from /usr/local/lib/.

Remove that file and install /usr/ports/x11/linux-xorg- libs. The correct libXp.so.6 should then be installed. The article could use a pre-requisite section though.
