I'm completely new to Wine (I'm running version 0.9.9 under Ubuntu 6.06).
I have been able to install and run Windows apps and I can see that Wine really rocks! For speed, I'd rather run Wine than VMware, especially when it comes to running MATLAB under linux.
I'm having difficulty with getting MATLAB (6.5.0.180913a (R13)) to run. There are several threads in the Wine archives for various versions of MATLAB but I seem to be having some specific problems.
I have tried to install MATLAB from the Windows install CD but it complains that it needs to install the Windows Java Virtual Machine. I then try to install this but the installation dies. (See error messages at bottom of this post).
I then tried to simply copy the MATLAB directories from the install on my Windows machine (which is under c:\MATLAB6p5) to my linux box wine drive at
(i.e ~/.wine/drive_c/MATLAB6p5). I adjusted the Serial# of drive_c using winecfg according to some previous posts to reflect the serial # of the Windows drive, but I get the following error message from MATLAB:
jack@ubuntu:~/.wine$ wine ./drive_c/MATLAB6p5/bin/win32/matlab.exe
License Manager Error -9.
MATLAB is not licensed on this host.
This error may be caused by a hard-drive modification.
Please reinstall MATLAB.
For more information, see The MathWorks Support page at
http://www.mathworks.com/support and search for
"license manager error -9"
Incidentally, while the .windows-serial file in the drive_c directory correctly stores the serial #, winecfg drops half of it if I reopen winecfg. Odd?
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Jack.
PS Here are the errors I got when trying to install the Windows version of MATLAB from CD onto my Linux box:
