To: bugs@MIT.EDU
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 1997 16:39:29 EST
From: Salvatore Valente <svalente@MIT.EDU>
System name: snorklewacker.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 7.7.3.0
Display type: linux
What were you trying to do?
Run Matlab version 5
What's wrong:
Matlab version 5 does not require /lib/elf.
However, /mit/matlab_v5.0/arch/i386_linux2/bin/matlab50 is a shell
script that checks for /lib/elf before running the executable.
What should have happened:
Matlab version 5 should have run even though I do not have a
/lib/elf directory on my computer.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Here's a patch.
