Matlab opens and immediately exits due to a "fatal error" on Linux EndeavourOS.

Hello,

I am attempting to start working with matlab on my desktop. When I tried installing and launching it, it continually crashed on me prior to use. Looking at the terminal it states:

Abnormal termination:
Segmentation violation

I don't exactly know what if anything is useful from my report but I can provide anything that you may need either from the crash report or terminal. It also states at the bottom

Fatal Error:
Throw location unknown (consider using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION)

I don't know what exactly is entailed in using "BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION" but I'd be happy to give anything a shot to get it work.

MATLAB R2025b is not supported on any Arch based Linux. https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/matlab-linux.html

Probably there is a conflict with libC.so.6 but it could be any of several other libraries causing the problem.

I suppose that's a fair point. I think I'm still going to try and do older fixes I may find on the forum. If I really can't make it work I'll do the code online and swap to my windows laptop to perform finishing touches. Thanks for the quick response.
