MATLAB 2019a error XML_SetHashSalt

Hello,

I've installed the last release of MATLAB ( 2019a ).

Everything seems to be OK but when I launch matlab I have :

MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

/usr/bin/python3: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/python3: undefined symbol: XML_SetHashSalt

When I close MATLAB , I have :

Exception in thread "Thread-11": java.lang.NullPointerException

Do you have any idea about those issue?

I forgot to add:

Linux debian stretch kernel 4.9.0.8

Thank you for your support.

Fot the first error , I only add a LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so before launching matlab

[Michal]

In Linux Debian Stretch is libexpat located at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/... not in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/... !

Could anybody confirm, that this solution is functional?

[Frank Formaz]

In my case /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so is a link to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1.6.2

and it works very well

Dear all,

I experience the same kind of problems with R2019a on Linux Ubuntu 18.04

See details below.

Is there any update on this topic ?

best regards,

When I try the figure properties editor (I don't like the new one by the way) I get in matlab window line :
