Listing directory in MATLAB does not work with fish

After I setup fish as the main shell chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish, I've tried to use ls command in MATLAB, but I got the following error:

??? Error using ==> ls at 36
/usr/local/bin/fish: /opt/MATLAB/R2011a/sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15'
not found (required by /usr/local/bin/fish)

Someone knows why it happens? My actual solution is to reset bash as the main shell and always run fish to use it.

Solution

  • Matlab uses its own glibc librarires, and it's often a big mess because of that.

    You can look at my answer there for one way to solve that: GLIBCXX not found when compiling vtk example under mex
