Fedora 24 gives me the error /usr/local​/matlab201​6b/bin/gln​xa64/../..​/sys/os/gl​nxa64/libs​tdc++.so.6​: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /lib64/libGLU.so.1)

Hi - I upgraded to Fedora 24 and then installed matlab2016b. Any time I try to plot anything, it gives me the error:

/usr/local/matlab2016b/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /lib64/libGLU.so.1)

How do I fix this? Thanks. See below for an example:

Error in newplot (line 73) ax = gca(fig);

The following bug report should be able to resolve this issue. The detailed steps for the work around is mentioned in the following bug report for a similar issue on Ubuntu:

Even though you are using Fedora 24 and MATLAB R2016b, you can try this to resolve the issue.

Hello guy!

I have the same problem. I follow this link steps but didn't work. Appear the same error.

Although it has managed to solve the problem of "`CXXABI_1.3.9' not found" by reinstalling mesa-libGLU-9.0.0-10.fc24.x86_64 library using dnf reinstall.

What would I do to solve that?

Thank you

The two answers above did not work for me. The following answer from stackoverflow helped:

What I did was I edited a file called .matlab7rc.sh (located in "path_to_ matlab/bin" folder and its hidden) and uncommented all lines that were(there are several of them): LDPATH_PREFIX='$MATLAB/sys/opengl/lib/$ARCH'
