This issue is caused by SELinux configuration. Check if your machine is asking for input by hitting the return key. You can also check your system logs in /var/log to confirm that the machine is waiting for input.
If this is occurring, there are a few options to resolve this issue:
1. Update your SELinux packages.
- To update this on a Fedora Core machine, you can run the yum utility as follows:
yum update selinux*
- This will automatically download and install the newer version of selinux-policy-targeted. You should now be able to launch the installer or MATLAB without the above error.
2. Disable SELinux on the machine:
Turn SElinux off by changing the appropriate line in /etc/sysconfig/selinux from:
"selinux=enforcing"
to:
"selinux=permissive" or "selinux=disabled"
You will need to reboot the machine for this change to take effect.
If you are unable to disable or make exceptions to the selinux rules, FLEXnet can always be started manually by navigating to the $MATLAB/etc directory and executing 'lmstart'.
