Starting Matlab R2015a or newer in CentOS7 or recent version of Fedora, the error
\nlibGL error: dlopen \/usr\/lib64\/dri\/swrast_dri.so failed
\nwill rise through does not affect the normal working of Matlab.<\/p>\n
This problem is caused by the libstdc++.so.6 coming with Matlab.<\/p>\n
Matlab carries statically linked libstdc++.so.6.0.17 in \/matlab_folder\/sys\/os\/glnxa64. When the system version of libstdc++.so.6 is lower than the Matlab carried version, Matlab will run without rising any errors. If your system’s libstdc++.so.6 version is higher than the matlab version, you will see the above error.<\/p>\n
The cure is to use link to your system version of libstdc++.so.6 instead of the link to libstdc++.so.6.0.17 in \/matlab_folder\/sys\/os\/glnxa64.<\/p>\n
For example, if in CentOS7, you can do
\nrm -f \/matlab_folder\/sys\/os\/glnxa64\/libstdc++.so.6
\nln -s \/usr\/lib\/libstdc++.so.6.0.19 \/matlab_folder\/sys\/os\/glnxa64\/libstdc++.so.6
\nand matlab will work without this error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
