I'm trying to install MATLAB on Ubuntu 12.10, I had it in my last laptop with 12.04 and I didn't have much trouble to install it.

I'm getting this problem:

j@jgb:~/Programs/Instaladores/matlab$ ./install
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
./install: 1: eval: /tmp/mathworks_1436/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/java: Permission denied
Finished

And it doesn't change if I change the permissions to the java file or to the install file as other posts say.

In my /etc/fstab file I had this line added (But nothing changes if I comment it): tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777 0 0

Thanks

I had the same problem. I tried installing the MATLAB R2012b.

The problem was the login name. Make sure you write the correct login name during the installation process, and its case sensitive.

I deleted the files and re-installed it and it worked.

Good luck.

You haven't give the install program permission to write the file /tmp/mathworks_1436/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/java

Try:

sudo install
-1

Try to add the x permission to the "java" file

see ! it's easy ;)
