Why do I get the following Segmentation Violation error message when installing MATLAB?
Segmentation Fault
-------------------------------------------------------------------
An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup',
the X Window System version of 'install'. The following
messages were written to standard error:
Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available
or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal
version of 'install' using the command:
install* -t or INSTALL* -t
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry! Setup aborted . . .

This problem has been known to occur when the license file has been corrupted. If you are experiencing this error message, please make sure that your license file is in the correct format (see page 2-3 of the 'Installation Guide for UNIX').
This error may also be caused by mounting the installation disc without the setting the executable bit for the file system. See the Related Solution below, "Why do I receive a "permission denied" error when running /cdrom/install to install MATLAB?".
