When launching MATLAB on Solaris 8,  I get the following error:
ld.so.1: $HOME/matlab_2006b/bin/sol2/MATLAB: fatal: libm.so.1:
version`SUNW_1.1.1' not found (required by file
$HOME/matlab_2006b/bin/sol2/libut.so)

I have updated to the necessary patch level, as shown by the showrev output 
below. Originally there was a libm.so.1 in the matlab/bin/sol2 directory. 
Renaming the file gives an illegal instruction error. We removed that file 
and get the SUNW_1.1.1 not found again. Ldd shows that libut.so is pointing 
to the correct library now.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Below is the output of some relevant commands.

Does the MATLAB launching script play games with the linker?  It
sounds like it may.

Have you asked the MATLAB people about this?

What you're describing doesn't sound healthy at all.  But given the
symptoms, I'd be pretty tempted to copy /lib/libm.so.1 from the
running system into that matlab/bin/sol2 directory.  (ick!)

search for other libm.so.1 in all the matlab directories.
the matlab launcher script sets a long list of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, there 
might be a libm.so.1 hidden in there.
