Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo glibc-2.3.2 install help

Yes,
     Running Matlab on current release will just core dump.  Also tried 
the fix on Matlab site where you modify the .matlab7rc.sh file.  So I'm 
thinking it has to be a problem with the new glibc on current releases. 
  This is on Fedora 3 and 4 as well.  Fedora 2 sort of works but not well.
