Matlab install linux error: what(): Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application

I have followed the basic instructions to install the matlab version R2018a. The installation completed without error.

When I load matlab I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application

When I enter:

! bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow

I get the following error:

bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow: error while loading shared libraries: libgobject-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have run:

Sudo yum install */libgconf* and found several updates

I have excluded libfreetype* files and glnxa64/libglib-2.0.so* by entering the following:

sudo mv matlabroot/bin/glnxa64/libfreetype* exclude_path

sudo mv matlabroot/cefclient/sys/os/glnxa64/libglib-2.0.so* exclude_path

when I enter:

matlab -nodesktop -nosplash

I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application

Hello Dana,

This error message is typically caused by a library dependency error. To resolve this issue, please remove the following libraries from the MathWorks Installation files, specifically the /bin/glnxa64 directory:

libcrypto.so.1.1

libssl.so.1.1
