Matlab on 64 bit 11i

[Mahima Kaushik_2]

Hi,

Has any one ran Matlab (rls. 14) on 64 bit HP-UX 11.11 on PA-RISK 2.0 (9000/785/B2600).
Please let me know since I do not have any other options at this point.

Mahima

Mathworks say's it's supported:

We have installed and run it on an rp8400. For the most part it worked okay, but we experienced a problem running the simulink module. We were also receiving the following error whenever matlab was launched:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libgcc_s.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

Here is the response we got from Mathworks to our problems:
-------
Please note that the PA 64 bit processor are currently not supported or tested. Your simulink issue was brought to our
development team and they responded with the following possible workaround. Note: Our development team is planning on
implementing a fix for this simulink library error in the next R14sp1 release.

Currently, you can download a revised version of a library that may fix the problem. Note that since the platform is not officially supported, this workaround may not fix the problem or may cause other unforeseen problems. Here are the required steps:

1. Quit MATLAB
2. Rename the following file:

$MATLAB/bin/hpux/libgmp.sl

(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory on your machine)

Rename the file to libgmp.sl.old

3. Download the following file from our anonymous FTP server:

ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/tech-support/solutions/s1-OAKDJ/libgmp.sl

and place it in the same directory mentioned in step 2.

To log in to our FTP server use "anonymous" as your username and use your e-mail address when prompted for a password.

4. Restart MATLAB

5. After restarting MATLAB, issue the following command at the MATLAB prompt :

rehash toolboxcache

For more information on 64-bit platform support, see the following article:

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

This updated library seems to have fixed our problems.

In mathworks website, it only talks about PA 2.0 and 11i. But when I contacted the Matlab Tech. Support, he had recomendaded 32 bit OS insted of 64 bit since they had not very much luck with it.

Thanks John,
Your information is very helpfull. What is the Hardware model of your server?
Thanks!

We loaded it on an rp8400. For the most part, users are still using R13, but have started evaluating R14.

We use Matlab release 12 (6.0.0.88) on our
PA 2.0 J5600 (9000/785/J5600), which runs
HPUX 11.0 (64 bit). The Matlab binaries
themselves are PA 1.1 (32 bit). They work
on our PA 2.0 machines on both 10.20 (32 bit)
and 11.0 (64 bit), and on our Itanium machine
which is on 11.22 (64 bit). I see no reason
why it should not run on 11i as well.
