can't find MATLAB_xxx_LIBRARYs

Question

can't find MATLAB_xxx_LIBRARYs

duyilong opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

when I run catkin_make at catkin workspace, error happened and error message says "can't find MATLAB_ENG_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)"and other several MATLAB-libraries.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

I install matlab2014A to /home/MY_NAME/Downloads/matlab, cause there is no enough free space at/usr/local, does that matter?
Or, those libs were not installed like that?
if so, it's nice of you to show me some way to install them : )

You might need to change this line in the cmake if you installed matlab in a non-default place.

I tried that, executable found, but still can't find other libs.
I install the matlab at /home/MY_NAME/Downloads/matlab2014A

find_program(MATLAB_EXE_PATH matlab
PATHS /home/duyl/Downloads/matlab2014A/bin)

here is the terminal output.

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'bagconvert'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(kalibr_allan/bagconvert)
-- Boost version: 1.54.0

-- Will look for MATLAB libraries in

eh...I don't know why

@goldbattle I reinstall matlab at /usr/local (installer default option),
neither

find_program(MATLAB_EXE_PATH matlab
PATHS /usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/bin)

or

find_program(MATLAB_EXE_PATH matlab
PATHS /usr/local/bin)

works, same error happens, excutable found, but MATLAB not found.

Is there any special things to notice while installing MATLAB?

Patrick Geneva · Answer 4 · Mon Apr 23 2018 22:17:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It might not be compatible with the version of MATLAB you are using.
I am using R2016b.
Let me know if you figure anything out, thanks!

I had similar messages and got catkin to build successfully (with a warning) with a quick and dirty fix. I changed the library-finding chunk in findMatlab.cmake to:

...
# This is common to all platforms:
# Get paths to the Matlab MEX libraries
find_library(MATLAB_MEX_LIBRARY
        libmex.so
        HINTS /usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/glnxa64/
)
find_library(MATLAB_MX_LIBRARY
        libmx.so
        HINTS /usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/glnxa64/
)
find_library(MATLAB_MAT_LIBRARY
        libmat.so
        HINTS /usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/glnxa64/
)
find_library(MATLAB_ENG_LIBRARY
        libeng.so
        HINTS /usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/glnxa64/
)
find_library(MATLAB_UT_LIBRARY
        libut.so
        HINTS /usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/glnxa64/
).

# Get path to the include directory
find_path(MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIR
        "mex.h"
        HINTS  "/usr/local/bin/matlab/extern/include"
)
...

The warning was related to libboost_system and libboost_filesystem having conflicting version needs.

This is on 2017b

For those who are having this issue, here's how I solved it.

I had the exact same problems as @duyilong, and when making the changes suggested by @goldbattle, it also didn't seem to fix the problem. But after deleting the build and devel directories and rebuilding, it worked fine! Hope this helps.

Great! My Matlab is installed in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin, and I replace

    find_program(MATLAB_EXE_PATH matlab
            PATHS /usr/local/bin)

to

    find_program(MATLAB_EXE_PATH matlab
            PATHS /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin)

then
rm -rf build/ && catkin_make
it works.

it sure worked for me, thanks!

Dear All

Following your instruction, looks like it works for R2018 but unfortunately, it failed for the R2020 version :(

make: *** [all] Error 2

The problem is that the R2020 requires a new version of libstdc++6 which is not available of Ubuntu 16.04. So I have to find an older version of Matlab then..

Thanks for the great works!
