How to launch external application from Matlab in ubuntu ?

Hello,

I would like to launch an external application from Matlab. I am using ubuntu 16.04 and Matlab 2017b.

I looked at other similar questions and the answer seems to be : "use the system command".

But when I use it I get :

[status,result] = system('terminal &')
status =

     0
result =

0×0 empty char array

I always get the same result if I try with other external applications.

What did I do wrong ?

Thank you for your answers.

I found a solution, using this answers : https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/329796-issue-with-libstdc-so-6

Renaming the lib file did the trick for me.
